Why did the industrial revolution take place in

eighteenth-century Britain and not elsewhere in Europe or Asia? In

this convincing new account Robert Allen argues that the British

industrial revolution was a successful response to the global

economy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He shows that

in Britain wages were high and capital and energy cheap in

comparison to other countries in Europe and Asia. As a result, the

breakthrough technologies of the industrial revolution - the steam

engine, the cotton mill, and the substitution of coal for wood in

metal production - were uniquely profitable to invent and use in

Britain. The high wage economy of pre-industrial Britain also

fostered industrial development since more people could afford

schooling and apprenticeships. It was only when British engineers

made these new technologies more cost-effective during the

nineteenth century that the industrial revolution would spread

around the world.
