Economy and Society: European Industrialisation and Its Social Consequences: Essays Presented to Sidney Pollard

by Colin Holmes

This is a detailed exploration of important features - including causes - of the rapid economic growth in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, followed by a number of reflective essays on the theme of the social consequences of that great change. In both sections the essays embrace development all over western and central Europe, and the whole book should inform and interest a wide audience from undergraduate level up.
