The social aspect of innovators - technological innovation as contribution to social progress and porous social structure, any one can be an innovator - migrant, lower or middle class, etc. solving technological problems ... were dominant in the time of industrial revolution - iron and coal mines.
I probably missed the emphasis on the social context.. but this book definitely has a lot of details about the various risk takers or innovators during that time.
