Reviews:
Deep ideas from rare material I found this book to be a marvellous presentation of the antecedents
of the English industrial revolution. It is lucid, on-policy in
language, deeply sought, and narrowly organized. It draws the material
from the important but rare sources, like the industrial commentators
of the eighteenth century before Adam Smith. Better of all, the major
texture of its tapestry of the ideas was a pleasure of receiving in
its own spirit.
