Zusammenfassung

In 1700, Britain was a rural country. By 1850, the year before the Great Exhibition, it was 'the workshop of the world'. This book examines this change, the creation of national markets, and the economic growth which characterized the movement from agriculture to industry. It is useful for anyone studying 18th and 19th century British history.

Progress and Poverty Zusammenfassung

Progress and Poverty: An Economic and Social History of Britain 1700-1850 M. J. Daunton (Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and President of the Royal Historical Society, Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and President of the Royal Historical Society, Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and President of the Royal Historical Society)

This is a major college text. It will become prescribed reading for anyone studying British history in the 18th and 19th centuries. The book examines the massive structural change, the creation of national markets, and the economic growth which characterized the movement from agriculture to industry. In 1700 Britain was a rural country. By 1850, the year before the Great Exhibition, it was 'the workshop of the world'. The debate on the relationship between poverty and progress is at the core of this clear and wide-ranging analysis of the world's first industrialized nation.

Progress and Poverty Bewertungen

Superb and wide-ranging survey of a fast changing field. Dr C. J. Schmitz, Lecturer in Modern History, University of St. Andrew's
a timely and largely successful attempt to rehumanize modern British economic history by reintegrating it with its social and political cousins...Daunton's integrative approach is most valuable...style is lucid and lively, and his explanations of even the most arcane institutions and concepts are models of clarity...Postgraduates and specialists should relish both its ambitious scope and its fine tuning. * Economic History Review *
This is a lot of book for the money. Well over 600 pages for less than GBP15 is good value. It is not only volume that one is purchasing but also a quality product. It combines an excellent synthesis of the most recent work on the classic industrial revolution period with the author's own perceptive insights and interconnections...Each chapter is simply and clearly written, making it very accessible to students as well as more widely read scholars, and yet each contains a sophisticated analysis drawing on economic concepts and terms and spelling out mechanisms by which economic relationships occured. Daunton is excellent at explaining complicated issues...the book is greatly to be welcomed. It will be a great boon to students and a good read for scholars. I look forward to volume II * Business History *
Daunton has written a work of grand synthesis and sustained argument, which will be read and reread by professionals and students alike. The book is well produced, with convenient notes and excellent bibliographies, and is a signal achievement not least because its author has rescued so many important findings from highly technical studies and made them part of a story told in lucid, attractive prose. Both admirers and critics will want a sequel. * G.F. Steckley, Knox College, Choice, March 1996 Vol.33 No.7 *
