Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. "By setting industrialization against the background of wider processes of economic growth, recent trends in economic history have once again placed agriculture at the center of debate on the formation of modern economies. The nine essays in this volume examine the broader terms and implications of this new emphasis, and reassess the contribution of agriculture to economic growth in contexts that range from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries and from Europe to Russia and Asia.The essays are tightly focused around a set of central themes. Emphasizing how contexts of time and place have determined the relationship between agricultural change and economic growth, they explore comparatively such issues as the problems of interpretation and methodology posed by the close inter-dependence between agriculture and social organization, the critical role of political intervention in agricultural change, as well as the technical difficulties involved in measuring changes in productivity and their wider impact on economic growth. As a result the volume offers a uniquely broad but coherent and critical assessment of current trends in the interpretation of agriculture's major but complex historical role in modern economic growth.

No inscription. 192 pages. This wide-ranging book offers a re-appraisal of the origins and nature of technological change, a subject which has long been at the heart of debates over industrialization and economic growth. How and why does technological change occur? What is the relationship between technology and economic growth, and between technological change and the social and political context in which it takes place? These are some of the questions addressed. A distinguished team of international contributors focuses here on technological change in Europe, drawing upon the experiences of several countries, including England, France, Italy and Germany. The book's opening chapter provides an overview of the main causes of technological advance in western Europe before 1870. Subsequent chapters consider: the relationship between technology and resources; technological change in English manufacturing in the eighteenth century; obstacles to change in eighteenth-century industry in France; technology and economic growth in nineteenth-century Italy; technological factors in Britain's industrial decline since 1870; innovation in the British automobile industry in the twentieth century, and ideological opposition to the importation of American technology in Germany between 1900 and 1960. The volume closes with an economist's view of the diffusion of technology in Europe. The authors show how many previously accepted interpretations and commonplaces are no longer credible. Yet economic historians now possess a clearer understanding of the complexities surrounding the process of technological innovation in the past, and hence of the challenges they pose for the present and future.
