In 1750 Bradford was a small market town of about 4000 inhabitants
in the Yorkshire, West Riding. By 1850 it had become a major
industrial city of 100,000, the international centre of the worsted
production and trade. Behind this massive expansion of population
there occurred a fundamental transformation of society. This book
examines the process by which a capitalist society emerged in
Bradford. Although Bradford represents an unusual social
environment where industrial development began very early and
proceeded very fast, its history discloses with unusual force and
clarity a process that was more gradually transforming the wider
society of nineteenth-century Britain and that subsequently spread
throughout the world. By explaining the process of class formation
in industrialising Bradford, this book seeks to shed some
historical light on the character, contradictions and ultimate
resilience of the competitive liberal social order we still occupy.
