Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic and Industrial, Progress of the Century The purpose of this volume is to give to the general reader, as well as to the student, some idea of the progress and conditions of industry and commerce during the nineteenth century. The author endeavours to treat his subject in such a manner as to interest the man of business as well as the lover of history, and though, of course, a work of this kind depends upon facts and statistics for its basis, yet the reader will not be bewildered by long tables of figures, but the necessary items will all be explained in the course of the text. The volume opens with an account of the Industrial Revolution which so completely changed the course of industry and commerce at the beginning of the nineteenth century. As it began in England, that country is necessarily treated first, but throughout the work proper attention is given to the progress of the United States, Canada and the British Colonies, France, Germany, and the different states of Europe, and in fact the chief commercial nations of the world. Passing, then, from the Industrial Revolution, the state of commerce and industry in England, America, Europe, and the Colonies is discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Enlightenment culture sparked the Industrial Revolution During the late eighteenth century, innovations in Europe triggered the Industrial Revolution and the sustained economic progress that spread across the globe. While much has been made of the details of the Industrial Revolution, what remains a mystery is why it took place at all. Why did this revolution begin in the West and not elsewhere, and why did it continue, leading to today's unprecedented prosperity? In this groundbreaking book, celebrated economic historian Joel Mokyr argues that a culture of growth specific to early modern Europe and the European Enlightenment laid the foundations for the scientific advances and pioneering inventions that would instigate explosive technological and economic development. Bringing together economics, the history of science and technology, and models of cultural evolution, Mokyr demonstrates that culture--the beliefs, values, and preferences in society that are capable of changing behavior--was a deciding factor in societal transformations. Mokyr looks at the period 1500-1700 to show that a politically fragmented Europe fostered a competitive "market for ideas" and a willingness to investigate the secrets of nature. At the same time, a transnational community of brilliant thinkers known as the "Republic of Letters" freely circulated and distributed ideas and writings. This political fragmentation and the supportive intellectual environment explain how the Industrial Revolution happened in Europe but not China, despite similar levels of technology and intellectual activity. In Europe, heterodox and creative thinkers could find sanctuary in other countries and spread their thinking across borders. In contrast, China's version of the Enlightenment remained controlled by the ruling elite. Combining ideas from economics and cultural evolution, A Culture of Growth provides startling reasons for why the foundations of our modern economy were laid in the mere two centuries between Columbus and Newton.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial and Commercial Revolutions in Great Britain During the Nineteenth Century A new conception of personal liberty emerged and the mass Of the population of Europe became free in the nineteenth century as it had never been free before. Governments had to face new classes and new problems and a new conception Of national policy also emerged. The new methods Of manu facture and transport created new demands for raw materials and food, new areas were opened up, new wants created and new markets developed, so that by the end Of the period the whole globe was knit up in a world economy Of world inter dependence and exchange and world rivalry. The onl) century that can compare with the nineteenth for the rapidity and fundamental nature of its changes is the sixteenth. In this latter century the enormous importance of the discovery of the sea route to India and the two Americas became evident in new trade routes new commercial and colonial rivalries, new struggles among nations, a new mer chant class and a considerable acceleration of the growth of capital with all that it implied in the reorganisation of indus trial and agricultural life. The linking up of Europe with the Indies and the New World was followed by the revolution in economic thought brought about by the Reformation and the substitution of the royal and secular governments for the Church as the directing power in economic life. Of the five countries that may be styled Great Powers in the nineteenth century, viz., England, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, ' only the first two counted as important economic entities in the sixteenth century.
