These thirteen essays embrace case studies of Britain, Japan, Europe, China, India and Australasia and cover a period from circa 1700 to the present day. The author’s main intention is to illustrate a ’political economy' approach to industrial and technological history, to demonstrate the relations between technical and instutitional transformations, and to bring the history of technology into a wide historical perspective.
’...this collection testifies to the breadth of Inkster’s historical interests and the value of his profoundly comparative, institutionalist approach.’ Isis, Vol. 91, No.1 'One cannot read Inkster’s works without gaining an appreciation for the depth of his scholarship, new insights into the processes of industrialization and technology transfer, and a much more global view of these processes.' Industrial Archeology, vol. 26, no.2
