Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. What caused the Industrial Revolution? Gregory Clark offers a compelling explanation for this transformative event that reshaped human life after millennia of stagnation. He posits that the Industrial Revolution resulted from a form of natural selection during the pre-industrial era, where economically successful families also had greater reproductive success. These families passed down productive traits such as foresight, thrift, and a strong work ethic to their descendants. Clark's thesis challenges conventional explanations that focus on ideological, technological, or institutional changes, and it is likely to spark debate among historians for years to come. His work appeals to a broad audience by questioning the prevailing notion that institutions alone determine wealth in societies. While some may disagree with Clark, his thought-provoking approach encourages readers to reconsider established ideas. As an economic historian, he engages with economists without relying on overly complex models, making his insights accessible. This book is poised to become a foundational text on economic development, prompting further research and discussion. Clark's views on imperialism and the benefits of industrialization for labor are sure to provoke strong reactions. Overall, he provides a long-term perspective on the Industrial Revolution, offering significant contributions to the field without excessive detail.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "This is a very important book. Gregory Clark argues that the Industrial Revolution was the gradual but inevitable result of a kind of natural selection during the harsh struggle for existence in the pre-industrial era, in which economically successful families were also more reproductively successful. They transmitted to their descendants, culturally and perhaps genetically, such productive attitudes as foresight, thrift, and devotion to hard work. This audacious thesis, which dismisses rival explanations in terms of prior ideological, technological, or institutional revolutions, will be debated by historians for many years to come.
