Since the inadequacies of the Industrial Revolution remain a key
factor in most critiques of capitalism and individual liberty,
Education and the Industrial Revolution makes an important
contribution to a better understanding of the period. The book
provides a challenge to the educational establishment because it
contradicts the long-held view that the Industrial Revolution was a
disaster and that only government intervention and 'compulsion'
brought the joys of education to people. West's investigations
unearthed a large and growing market for education going hand in
hand with the rise of industrialism and occurring prior to
government intervention. By taking on such issues as supposed
educational deficiency, market provision, actual literacy rates,
theories of educational reform in the nineteenth century, and the
realities of educational intervention, West helps us come to a
richer understanding of liberty -- one that is little-known today
but every bit as relevant as the day it was written.
