This volume has three main themes. First, there is the concept of
the Industrial Revolution and its main characteristics, and the
author defends both the term and the notions behind it against
attempts to play down their significance. A particular interest is
the comparison of what happened to Britain with similar processes
in other European countries. The second theme is the set of
problems facing the early entrepreneurs and managers. Their
difficulties, as pioneers in the economic as well as the social
sphere, are often underrated, and are here explored in detail.
Last, there is an emphasis on the characteristic feature of
industrialisation as a regional phenomenon, and on the significance
of particular regions in the entire process. All three themes have
called forth extended debate, in which these essays have played an
important part.
