This study of a specific industry's survival and growth in three
countries is a useful resource for research on industrial
development in 19th century Europe. Presenting the history of three
major cutlery districts in Western Europe during the 19th century -
Sheffield in England, Bergische land (Solingen and Remscheid) in
Germany, and Eskilstuna in Sweden - the author focuses on each
region's industrial development in relation to its socio-cultural
context. This work challenges the flexible specialisation thesis
often used to explain the seeming persistence of small-scale and
decentralised production within the cutlery industry since the 19th
century, and argues that growing businesses had to develop
competitive strategies for control over important resources.
