Unbound Prometheus Technical Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present

For over thirty years David Landes's Unbound Prometheus has offered an unrivalled history of industrial revolution and economic development in Europe. Now, in this new edition, he reframes and reasserts his original arguments in the light of current debates about globalisation and comparative economic growth. Questions of why Europe was the first to industrialise and of the viability of the post-war economic boom are as controversial as ever and Professor Landes concludes that only by continuous industrial revolution can Europe and the world sustain itself in the years ahead.Landes, David S. is the author of 'Unbound Prometheus Technical Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present', published 2003 under ISBN 9780521534024 and ISBN 052153402X.
