First Published in 2005. This book is written for the general
reader and not for the specialist. It is an attempt to put the
Industrial Revolution in its place in history, and to give an idea
both of its significance and of the causes that determined the age
and the society in which it began. The book is divided into three
parts: in part one authors discuss the development of commerce
before the Industrial Revolution; part two describes the changes in
transport which preceded the railways, the dissolution of the
peasant village, the destruction of custom in industry, and the
free play that capital found in consequence. Part three examines
the first social effects of the change from a peasant to an
industrial civilization.
