Originally published in 1987, this book examines how much
industrialisation improved the standard of living of the British
worker, based on the experience of one representative city:
Glasgow. It analyses whether there was an increase in skilled as
opposed to unskilled labour in major industrial centres – as for
example in Glasgow, manufacturing shifted from textiles to
engineering. Other important issues such as the rate of housing
construction, public health, local politics and leisure pursuits
are also considered. Glasgow has a long history of working-class
culture and is therefore a particularly interesting city to study.
