Synopsis

Industrial Evolution examines how rapid growth of industry redirects where people live and work. It explains the shift from rural life to cities and the move toward a new economic order grounded in the division of labor.

The book traces the historical path from medieval town life to modern urban economies, showing how population flows reflect broader social and economic changes. It also looks at how handcrafts gave way to factory and commission systems, and what that meant for workers and communities.

• How migration to cities reshapes communities and daily life


• How new economic ideas and policies widen the reach of industry


• The decline of traditional handicrafts and the rise of factory work


• The evolving training and organization of labor in a changing economy

Ideal for readers of economic history and social change.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Industrial Evolution

The present stimulating volume, which in the original bears the title Die Entstehung der Volkswirt-schaft (The Rise of National Economy), gives the author's conclusions on general industrial development. Somewhat similar ground has been worked over, among recent economic publications, alone by Professor Schmoller's comprehensive Grundrisz der allgemeinen Volkswirtschafts-lehre, Pt. I. But the method of treatment and the results of the present work allow it to maintain its unique position.

Chapters I. and II. outline the prominent features of primitive economic life in the tropical zone. These realistic accounts of the "pre-economic stage of industrial evolution," preceding the dawn of civilization, ably emphasize the kinship of economics and ethnology. In chapter III. he presents brilliantly and concisely the suggestive series of economic developmental stages of household, town and national economy, based on the industrial relation of producer to consumer; and Chapter IV. offers a masterly survey of industrial systems - domestic work, wage-work, handicraft, commission work (house industry), and the factory. With these chapters may be classed Chapter V. The Decline of the Handicrafts. The remaining chapters analyze more specifically, from the viewpoints of the individual and society, some of the great processes of industrial evolution: union and division of labour; the intellectual integration of society as effected by the press; the formation of social classes; and the further adjustment of labour through internal migrations of population. At the same time they enrich economic terminology with many telling expressions.
