The British Industrial Revolution in Global Perspective pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Why did the industrial revolution take place in eighteenth-century Britain and not elsewhere in Europe or Asia? In this convincing new account Robert Allen argues that the British industrial revolution was a successful response to the global economy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He shows that in Britain wages were high and capital and energy cheap in comparison to other countries in Europe and Asia. As a result, the breakthrough technologies of the industrial revolution - the steam engine, the cotton mill, and the substitution of coal for wood in metal production - were uniquely profitable to invent and use in Britain. The high wage economy of pre-industrial Britain also fostered industrial development since more people could afford schooling and apprenticeships. It was only when British engineers made these new technologies more cost-effective during the nineteenth century that the industrial revolution would spread around the world.

评分熟悉日本电影的朋友大概都看过黑泽明的成名作《罗生门》。这部电影根据芥川龙之介的小说改编,讲述了一起扑朔迷离的杀人强奸案。几位当事人都从自己角度向法官讲述了案件的经过,人们难以分辩谁的叙述更接近真相。有一起历史大案颇似罗生门,只是它的案情更为复杂,当事...
评分第一,传统观念认为是先发生了农业革命,然后推动了工业革命。但英国由于原生工业、国际商贸的繁荣,导致了城市的迅猛扩张,旺盛的城市需求和庞大农业市场形成,刺激了农业技术创新以及经营模式改进。农业革命与工业革命之间的因果关系要倒过来。 第二,出现科学革命,不一定能...
