Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title
Previous books on the industrialization of America have focused either on the industrial revolution in the first half of the nineteenth century or on the rise of big industry in the second. In this groundbreaking study Licht provides a new perspective by focusing on industrialization first as a product and then as an agent of change. As population expansion and greater market activity fueled manufacture, he explains, industrialization led to greater social and economic developments as well as crises that required a more administered political economic order.
Walter Licht is professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Working for the Railroad: The Organization of Work in the Nineteenth Century, Work Sights: Industrial Philadelphia, 1890-1950, and Getting Work: Philadelphia, 1840-1950.
