The economic transformation of Britain between 1750 and 1850 was deep-rooted and considerable in its impact, but the author examines the extent of the changes and asks if they in fact amounted to an industrial revolution. He brings together a range of primary and secondary sources, as well as drawing on recent research, to examine the key aspects of economic change in Britain between 1750 and 1850. The aim is to encourage students to consider the nature of economic revolutions.
