Industrial culture and the challenge of English capitalism: Perceptions of economic change in the British engineering press, 1885-1925

Abstract

dc:description

This dissertation examines the British response to the rise of mass production industries beginning in the late 19th century. It challenges the frequent complaint that British entrepreneurs in this period were not alive to the possibilities of monopolistic capitalism until after American and German industrialists had acquired a dominant position in world markets.
