The British Industrial Revolution has long been seen as the spark
for modern, global industrialization and sustained economic growth.
Indeed the origins of economic history, as a discipline, lie in
19th-century European and North American attempts to understand the
foundation of this process. In this book, William J. Ashworth
questions some of the orthodoxies concerning the history of the
industrial revolution and offers a deep and detailed reassessment
of the subject that focuses on the State and its role in the
development of key British manufactures. In particular, he explores
the role of State regulation and protectionism in nurturing
Britain's negligible early manufacturing base. Taking a long view,
from the mid 17th century through to the 19th century, the analysis
weaves together a vast range of factors to provide one of the
fullest analyses of the industrial revolution, and one that places
it firmly within a global context, showing that the Industrial
Revolution was merely a short moment within a much larger and
longer global trajectory. This book is an important intervention in
the debates surrounding modern industrial history will be essential
reading for anyone interested in global and comparative economic
history and the history of globalization.
