Daniel Headrick, author of Tools of Empire, examines why the
massive transfer of Western technology to European colonies did not
spark an industrial revolution in those countries. Rather than
spurring economic progress, he argues, the transfer of stock
technology between 1850 and 1940 caused the traditional
self-sufficient economies of the colonial regions to become mired
in a state of underdevelopment, a legacy which burdens these
countries to this day.
