Professor Federico documents Western industrialization, the technical progress and the changing methods of production that enabled the silk industry to cope with increased demand. Silk became the first Japanese success story on the world market, with Italy retaining a sizeable share until labor was diverted as a result of its industrialization. Japanese industrialization also led its silk industry to a similar fate after the Second World War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanni Federico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521581982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521581981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.29w x 1.04d","brand":"Giovanni Federico","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491361288447,"sku":"9780521581981","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56f9a56b-41dc-44b8-874b-abc6f70409aa.jpg?v=1699450771","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-economic-history-of-the-giovanni-federico-9780521581981","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
