Description

Explore a new perspective on economic history with this volume from the Routledge Explorations in Economic History series. While many studies focus on technology, capital, and entrepreneurship, this book shifts the focus to the role of labour. It examines how labour absorption and the improvement of labour quality influenced the timing, pace, and quality of industrialization across the globe over several centuries. This text challenges the view of labour as a passive factor of production. Instead, it looks at how human work shaped the industrial process. While acknowledging the development of science and technology in the West and the importance of fossil fuels like coal and oil, the book provides a broader view of how labour drove global economic changes. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in business and economic history.
