The Industrial Revolution and the Origins of Modern Economic Growth: a New Look
The International Graduate School of Social Sciences and the School of Economics are proud to host a special guest lecture by Prof. Joel Mokyr of Northwestern University:
The Industrial Revolution and the Origins of Modern Economic Growth: a New Look
“Examining British economic history in the period 1760-1830 is a bit like studying the history of Jewish dissenters between 50 B.C. and A.D. 50. At first provincial, localized, even bizarre, it was destined to change the life of every woman and man in the West beyond recognition and to affect deeply the lives of others… Although the center of the stage has long been taken over by others, Britain's place of honor in the history books is assured: It will remain the Holy Land of Industrialism.”
