Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industrial Progress WE live in a world of wonders, and each one's life is of necessity so hemmed in by circumstances that none can see much beyond the horizon of his own habitat. We recognize the progress of an industry that comes within our own experience, but we know little of those with which we are not in personal Contact. The pressman who clamps the plates upon a modern lightning news paper press does not see anything very startling or interesting in the work; the man who pulls levers in the pulpit of a great steel works is not apt to recognize that there has been marvellous prog ress in that line of manufacturing; the attendant on a bottle blowing machine has learned to take his work as a matter of course and so we find it through the entire list of trades and occupations. Yet each of these men is at times impressed with the remarkable advances made in some industry other than his own, because such knowledge comes to one, as it were, suddenly, and not by the almost imperceptible movement that marks progress in the work that is familiar. The means that have brought about industrial development are worth studying. In the eighteenth century England was the one great centre of mechanical progress. She manufactured not only for Great Britain and her colonies, but for practically all other important civilized portions of the globe. Early emigrants to America did not bring with them the tools of their trades, excepting those of the Simplest character. The laws of England expressly forbade the exportation of tools and machines for manufacturing, or the taking of skilled workmen to the colonies. Her statesmen desired to retain for Great Britain the position of manufacturer and supply-house for the world. Wise and laudable as was this purpose, from a strictly British point of view, the means employed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to guard England's exclusive position in mechanics and manufacturing were a prime cause of American supremacy in several industries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on Modern Industrial Movements A large amount of material was gone over before the arti cles in this volume were selected and the task was difficult because of the rapidly changing status of such movements as Bolshevism, and the Shop Stewards' Movement. However, in those cases, the articles finally selected make clear the funda mentals underlying the growth of the movements and thus will serve their purpose in throwing light on the industrial thought of our time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industrial History of the United States The record of industrial progress may be rendered no less intelligible and interesting to the average student than the development of political forms. Business methods are more familiar than military tactics, and a mechanical invention is more readily comprehended than a constitu tional revision. Elaborate treatises have been written on various phases of our economic history. It is the aim of this book to bring the essential elements of that history within the grasp of the average reader. The complicated story has been told in the briefest possible fashion, but marginal references will enable the student to go into detail as fully as may be desired. Contemporary prob lems are treated in mere outline. The data essential to the study of each have been set forth with no expres sion of opinion, the best authorities, pro and con, being noted in the margin. A final chapter on the conservation of our national resources has been added to this edition in the hope of making evident the transcendent importance of the interests involved. Here, again, so brief a treat ment can do hardly more than suggest salient facts, leav ing the student to follow the line of his special concern. For the assistance of teachers, suggestions for supple mentary reading and for class discussion are given in an appendix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industrialism IT would have been a difficult task to write the history of Modern Industrialism in a work of five or six volumes. It is a still bolder undertaking to attempt it Within the pages of a single book. Believing firmly in the necessity of a clear understanding of what our complicated indus trial society means, I have attempted neither a work of many volumes nor a compact history of modern industry, but have endeavored to show in its essentials only what that history has been in three countries, how complicated industry is in the machinery of production, exchange and distribution, and finally What problems arise from the very nature of the complicated organization with which states are forced to deal. To facilitate this treatment the book is divided into the three parts: History, Industry, and Administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Industrial History of England: 1815-1918 The main purpose of this book is to provide, within as small a compass as possible, the historical background necessary for the study of modern industrial and social questions. An attempt has been made to show the interaction between political and economic development in the course of the nineteenth century by correlating the growth of democratic institutions with the progress of industry. The list of books in Appendix B. will serve as a guide to those who wish to follow up any particular question referred to in the text. Since in dealing with recent history dates have a value for the general reader as a means of relating facts to others known to him, I have introduced them in the narrative and the index. I have also adopted the only consistent method of referring to persons - that is, to use their names without the conventional prefixes. Otherwise, I would have to take the responsibility of deciding every case on its merits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
