Notes:
Takes a long view from the mid 17th century to the 19th, placing the British experience within a global context. Questions some of the orthodoxies concerning the history of the industrial revolution focusing especially on 'the State and its role in the development of key British manufactures', in particular 'the role of State regulation and protectionism in nurturing Britain's negligible early manufacturing base'
