The modern world began with the industrial revolution and the
industrial revolution began in Britain. Over the course of a
century after about 1750 the whole basis of the economy was
transformed. Manufacturing replaced agriculture as the principal
source of wealth and employer of labour: the primary sector gave
place to the secondary and the tertiary. At the same time, by 1850
more than half of the British population lived in a town for the
first time in our history: the class structure and the social life
which we still recognize came into being. In Deane's concise and
authoritative account of this most decisive of moments in our
history we have a work which remains as accessible to the general
reader and as essential for students as it was when it first
appeared in 1965. (Kirkus UK)
The second edition of this highly successful work identifies and updates the strategic changes in economic organization, industrial structure, and technological progress during the industrial revolution in Britain from 1750-1850.
