Forging Modernity

Mehr zum Buch

Examining Britain's ascendancy during the Industrial Revolution, the book analyzes how effective policies, particularly from the Tory party, set it apart from European rivals. By tracing historical political structures and endowments back to 1600, Hutchinson highlights the role of marketing, control systems, and logistics in industrial success. His unique perspective, informed by a Harvard MBA, emphasizes that the scientific method and commercial competition were just as crucial as physical infrastructure in driving Britain's dominance and improving living standards.
