The Unbound Prometheus: Technological Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780521826662)

In this new edition of his classic history on revolution and economic development in Europe, David Landes reasserts his original arguments in the light of current debates about globalization and comparative economic growth. Questions about why Europe was the first to industrialize and the viability of the post-war economic boom are as controversial as ever and Landes concludes that only by continuous industrial revolution can Europe and the world sustain itself in the years ahead.
