Fascinating and original scientific and social investigation of the
origins of capitalism in Britain, using a new evolutionary
sociology theory and political systems comparison (including France
and Holland), with scholarly reviews of alternative theories.
Explores significance of Britain's odd land-tenure and inheritance
system and asks where it came from, finding answers to questions
preoccupying legal and economic theoreticians since the 13th
century, with a demonstration of inheritance law in Hamlet. A
specialist in geopolitics and energy resources, the author weighs
up the roles of different fuels and technology and the availability
of labour in the British industrial revolution. Many factors
impinging on Britain's unusual population growth are reviewed,
including diseases, transport and fertility opportunities.
Alongside economic history this complex but sparkling work
chronicles changes to the environment, from climate and sea-level
changes to forest cover.
