Description

This Cambridge University Press collection explores proto-industrialization, the expansion of export-focused domestic industries across Europe from approximately 1500 to 1800. Unlike the factory systems that would follow, these industries flourished alongside agricultural production using traditional methods and decentralized labour. Since the 1970s, scholars have developed competing theories about proto-industrialization's transformative effects on demographics, social hierarchies, and institutional structures. The handbook synthesises these major theoretical frameworks and examines how proto-industrialization functioned as a crucial precursor to capitalism and the industrial revolution, reshaping European economic life during this pivotal transition period between early modern commerce and industrial manufacturing.

Key Features

European Proto-Industrialization presents a comprehensive synthesis of leading theoretical approaches developed since the 1970s regarding pre-industrial economic transformation.

The handbook examines how domestic export industries expanded alongside agricultural production across Europe without requiring advanced technology or centralized factory systems.

This Cambridge University Press collection explores proto-industrialization's documented impact on demographic patterns, social structures, and traditional institutional arrangements.

The collection addresses the historical mechanisms through which proto-industrialization contributed to the emergence of capitalism and the transition to factory-based industrialisation.

Spanning the 1500-1800 period, the handbook provides essential context for understanding European economic development and the origins of modern industrial society.
