Description
Eric Hobsbawm explores the origin and dramatic course of the Industrial Revolution over two hundred and fifty years, examining its influence on Britain's social and political institutions and society as a whole.
The country's relative decline this century is attributed to its early beginnings as a world industrial power. This second edition includes a new chapter on recent events and a revised conclusion that discusses the shape of Britain today.
