Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industrialism IT would have been a difficult task to write the history of Modern Industrialism in a work of five or six volumes. It is a still bolder undertaking to attempt it Within the pages of a single book. Believing firmly in the necessity of a clear understanding of what our complicated indus trial society means, I have attempted neither a work of many volumes nor a compact history of modern industry, but have endeavored to show in its essentials only what that history has been in three countries, how complicated industry is in the machinery of production, exchange and distribution, and finally What problems arise from the very nature of the complicated organization with which states are forced to deal. To facilitate this treatment the book is divided into the three parts: History, Industry, and Administration.

This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industrialism and the Negroes of the United States Two other circumstances combined with the one just mentioned to produce this unexpected and deplorable result. They were the slave compromises of the Constitution and the early territorial ex pansion of the republic southward. These compromises gathered the reviving slave system, as it were, under the wings of the general government, and so tempered the adverse forces with which it had to struggle for existence within the Union to its tender condition. They embraced the right to import Negroes into the United States, as slaves, until the year 1808, which operated. To satisfy, in part, the rising demand of the South for slave labor; also the right to recover fugitive slaves 1n any part of the country, which added immensely to the security of this species of property, and the right of the slave holding States, under the three fifths rule of representation in the lower house of Congress, to count five slaves as three freemen, which rule, taken in conjunction with the equality of State representation in the upper branch of that body, gave to that section an immediate and controlling influence upon federal policy and legislation.

Download or read book Industrial History of Modern England Classic Reprint written by George Herbert Perris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial History of Modern England The purpose of this volume is to outline the facts and to interpret the Spirit of the economic history of Great Britain in the last hundred and fifty years. The writer believed it to be a useful task to focus within such limits as these a narrative of the social transformation through which the mother country of industrialism has passed since the invention of the steam-engine; and, from this, he was led on to an attempt to characterise the period, and the main current of thought which the play Of economic forces has provoked. With so vast a subject, and great libraries of undigested evidence challenging attention, it seemed beyond h0pe to escape all the pitfalls in the way of such an essay. The recent accumula tions of statistical material, in particular, must be mastered, their essential results obtained, and the contributory detail then eliminated, like the scaffolding when a building is complete, lest the large outlines be obscured. The writer enjoyed, however, beside the interest of the task, the stimulus of contact with industry and business at several points. Trades translated themselves back out Of statistics into terms of flesh and blood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Women in Modern Industry Classic Reprint written by B. L. Hutchins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women in Modern Industry The main plan of the book is to give a sketch or outline of the position of working women, with special reference to the effects of the industrial revolution on her employment, taking industrial revolution in its broader sense, not as an event of the late eighteenth century, but as a continuous process still actively at work. I have aimed at description rather than theor'y. Some of the current theories about women's position are of great interest, and I make no pretence to an atti tude of detachment in regard to them, but it certainly appears to me that we need more facts and knowledge before theory can be based on a sure foundation. Here and there I have drawn my own conclusions from what I saw and heard, but these conclusions are mostly provisional, and may well be modified in the light of clearer knowledge.

Indeed, there is an un conscious truth ih the phrase of shallow people who talk of a man like Mr. Fenty as if he were behind the times. In one sense he is behind the times; as we speak of a man being behind the scenes. The man behind the scenes is at the back of things and the beginning of things. He knows where the actors come from, and how the whole performance began. He has seen all the machinery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is still further my belief that in our present industrial society are to be found all the essentials of the future state. If a people know what these are, to what purpose they may be utilized, how strong and how weak fundamental principles of organization are, they may look with greater confidence to the future of the industrial state. As a people, the inhabitants of the United States are confronted by more serious problems than the people of Great Britain or Germany.

Download or read book Iron and Steel in the Industrial Revolution Classic Reprint written by Thomas Southcliffe Ashton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iron and Steel in the Industrial Revolution This contribution to the history of the English Iron Industry is the product of the leisure, not of an historian, but of one engaged in teaching economic theory. The materials on which it is based were collected when I was on the staff first of the University of Sheffield, then of the University of Birmingham; but most of the actual writing has been done in Manchester. A generation ago writers on modern economic history found their principal quarry in blue-books, Parliamentary Journals, and other Government records. Hence arose not only an over-estimate of the part played by the State in economic development, but also, perhaps, an unduly gloomy View of former industrial society; for it -is the Pathology, rather than the Physiology, of social life that forms the subject of commissions of enquiry, of Home Office reports, and of parliamentary debates. Within the last few years a small group of scholars has attempted to re-write the economic history of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, using as a basis the surviving records of business undertakings. The University of Manchester already possesses the complete documents of four such concerns, and it is hoped that proprietors of long-established businesses will add to the collection. By so doing they will help to a truer View of the past, and therefore to a clearer understanding of the present. They need have no misgivings Concerning publicity. Houses that have stood the test of a century were not built, shamefully, on sand their foundations will bear scrutiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Industrial Progress WE live in a world of wonders, and each one's life is of necessity so hemmed in by circumstances that none can see much beyond the horizon of his own habitat. We recognize the progress of an industry that comes within our own experience, but we know little of those with which we are not in personal Contact. The pressman who clamps the plates upon a modern lightning news paper press does not see anything very startling or interesting in the work; the man who pulls levers in the pulpit of a great steel works is not apt to recognize that there has been marvellous prog ress in that line of manufacturing; the attendant on a bottle blowing machine has learned to take his work as a matter of course and so we find it through the entire list of trades and occupations. Yet each of these men is at times impressed with the remarkable advances made in some industry other than his own, because such knowledge comes to one, as it were, suddenly, and not by the almost imperceptible movement that marks progress in the work that is familiar. The means that have brought about industrial development are worth studying. In the eighteenth century England was the one great centre of mechanical progress. She manufactured not only for Great Britain and her colonies, but for practically all other important civilized portions of the globe. Early emigrants to America did not bring with them the tools of their trades, excepting those of the Simplest character. The laws of England expressly forbade the exportation of tools and machines for manufacturing, or the taking of skilled workmen to the colonies. Her statesmen desired to retain for Great Britain the position of manufacturer and supply-house for the world. Wise and laudable as was this purpose, from a strictly British point of view, the means employed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to guard England's exclusive position in mechanics and manufacturing were a prime cause of American supremacy in several industries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
