Notes from The Progressive:

New insights on the Industrial Revolution: from government intervention and workshop ingenuity; to Britain's 'mind blowing historical carbon debt' and ground that's been polluted for 200 years; to the slave economies of Jamaica and the southern US states.

From government intervention and workshop ingenuity, to Britain's 'mind blowing historical carbon debt' and ground that's been polluted for 200 years, via the slave economies of Jamaica and the southern US states. John Gallagher discusses new lines of thinking on the Industrial Revolution with historians Emma Griffin of the University of East Anglia, and William Ashworth of the University of Liverpool.
