The money came from the exploitation of Bengal in India since it was occupied by the East India Company in 1757. India also provided the market in the 19th century and as a result industry in India was wiped out due to the free trade with Britain. Reply

This could have been delivered with excitement, interest and more depth. How to make a fascinating subject dull and slow.

It seems to make sense that the entire recorded history of humans shows evidence for the two classes: noble aristocrats and the peasants. Yet the industrial revolution only happened once. But what if there was no reason for the revolution to happen? What if it just happened by chance? Does systematic investment in crazy enterprises need a reason? What if the investors were just gambling for fun?

It happened thanks to the king and his order that protected private property so that entrepreneur can try to predict the market easily

Wrong. The industrial revolution has increased our lifespans, it has lifted us out of slavery, it has significantly raised our standards of living. The life of the common man sees luxuries the richest of the rich could have never imagined before the industrial revolution. Our diets are healthier, our housing is healthier. It's hard to find anything the industrial revolution has made worse.

From the eighteenth century cobblestone streets With the horse and the carriages to rest our feet To the train and city tram came the birth of mechanical man With mechanical man came the automobile Henry Ford's Model 'T' with an engine on wheels And a crazy race began with a car for every man A limousine, hot rod, Beetle and a van or maybe just an old sedan We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights to be our guiding hand We're heading for a great big (we're heading for a) worldwide traffic jam With all the hoots and the toots and the traffic brutes to fill our loving land I wonder who's gonna win this great big race Mechanical man or the natural pace? (We wait for you) From the back seat Romeo in lover's lane to the family car on a highway in Spain There's a car for every need with the shape, the color and speed

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

He just rambles and meanders, focusing on inconsequential minutiae, without making coherent or root-striking points.

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

It only appears that way because other historians overstate the importance of individual events. There is no overarching narrative, only incremental change.

[@Noahthelasercop]

Wow, crushed with facts and logic

This guy gets paid for this rubbish, he has no grasp of the subject and is talking complete rubbish.

prof1066: Your argument is impossible to refute (because you didn't make one).

Danny Wade I thought the subject was The early Industrial Revolution, Not how to send your students to sleep. His points about China are complete rubbish.
