The first text to examine the concept of trust and the role that it
played on the Industrial Revolution, this book is a key resource
for students' studying nineteenth century British history as well
as historically minded sociologists. Analytical in style and
comprehensive in approach, Social Capital, Trust and the Industrial
Revolution covers a range of themes, including: the forms of
behaviour, institutions and strategies that contributed to the
formation of trust the circumstances that could lead to its rise or
fall the presence of distrust the relationship and links between
trust and power. Although research has shown that high levels of
social capital and trust promotes economic growth, low crime rates
and improved labour relations, little work has been done on the
historical impact of this essential resource. David Sunderland's
incisive monograph is resets the balance and demonstrates how
social capital played a crucial role in the industrial, social and
political changes of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century.
