Description

The industrial revolution was the single most important development in human history over the past three centuries, and it continues to shape the contemporary world.

With new methods and organizations for producing goods, industrialization altered where people live, how they play, and even how they define political issues.

By exploring the ways the industrial revolution reshaped world history, this book offers a unique look into the international factors that started the industrial revolution and its global spread and impact. In the fourth edition, noted historian Peter N. Stearns continues his global analysis of the industrial revolution with new discussions of industrialization outside of the West, including the study of India, the Middle East, and China.

In addition, an expanded conclusion contains an examination of the changing contexts of industrialization.

The Industrial Revolution in World History is essential for students of world history and economics, as well as for those seeking to know more about the global implications of what is arguably the defining socioeconomic event of modern times.
