This book focuses on the importance of ideological and institutional factors in the rapid development of the British economy during the years between the Glorious Revolution and the Crystal Palace Exhibition. Joel Mokyr shows that we cannot understand the Industrial Revolution without recognizing the importance of the intellectual sea changes of Britain’s Age of Enlightenment. In a vigorous discussion, Mokyr goes beyond the standard explanations that creditgeographical factors, the role of markets, politics, and society to show that the beginnings of modern economic growth in Britain depended a great deal on what key players knew and believed, and how those beliefs affected their economic behavior. He argues that Britain led the rest of Europe into the Industrial Revolution because it was there that the optimal intersection of ideas, culture, institutions, and technology existed to make rapid economic growth achievable. His wide-ranging evidence covers sectors of the British economy often neglected, such as the service industries.

2014-03-24 又是一本非常好看的書，主要是說啓濛主義帶來的ideology的革命怎麼影響到工業革命。觀點不新，很多人說過，但是這本書基於相對紮實可信的論證，讀起來收益頗多。2020-03-25 仔細讀瞭前5章。細節非常豐富，真是narrative堆起來的一本書。先解釋為什麼enlightenment重要，又說為什麼英國能領先。段間寫作結構比較清晰的，但是章與章之間的邏輯關係我還沒完全弄清楚。另外，還是需要讀者知道一些工業革命的基本曆史。
