Description

Explore the intense economic rivalry between Britain and France during the 18th century. As the leading industrial nations of Europe, these two powers were locked in a struggle for technological supremacy. This Routledge publication examines how France sought to close the gap with British innovation, specifically regarding new coal-based technologies. Even with the British Act of 1719 in place to outlaw industrial espionage and technology transfer, France successfully employed various methods to acquire British advantages. This book looks at how French interests brought skilled workers across borders and acquired essential machinery and production methods. Built on a mass of unpublished archival material, this work provides a deep look into the methods used to transfer technology and manpower during a transformative era of economic history. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of business, economic competition, and the origins of industrial development.
