Description

This Routledge academic text reexamines industrialization through the lens of labour rather than technology alone. Challenging conventional narratives that emphasise capital and entrepreneurship, the book argues that labour absorption and quality improvements across centuries were fundamental to global industrialization's timing, pace and outcomes. Whilst science and technology developed primarily in the West and fossil fuels such as coal and oil played vital roles, this volume explores how human labour shaped industrial development globally. Part of the Routledge Explorations in Economic History series, it offers scholars and students a comprehensive reassessment of economic history by restoring labour's central importance to understanding how industrialisation unfolded and transformed societies worldwide.

Key Features

Routledge Explorations in Economic History series volume 59 provides peer-reviewed academic analysis of labour's role in global industrialisation.

The book challenges traditional industrialisation narratives by positioning labour absorption and improvement as primary drivers rather than passive production factors.

Covers several centuries of global industrial development, examining how human labour quality and capacity directly influenced industrialisation's pace and character.

Suitable for university students, economic historians and researchers studying business, economic and industrial history from a labour-centred perspective.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in economics, history and business studies literature.
