 | Reinventing the Economic History of Industrialisation The Industrial Revolution is central to the teaching of economic history. It has also been key to historical research on the commercial expansion of Western Europe, the rise of factories, coal and iron production, the proletarianization of labour, and the birth and worldwide spread of industrial capitalism. However, perspectives on the Industrial Revolution have changed significantly in recent years. Reflecting on the major topics of concern for economic historians over the past generation, this book brings this area of study up to date and points the way forward.
