'A fizzing analysis of the history and geography of manufacturing and where it is heading' "Economist" "'A fizzing analysis of the history and geography of manufacturing and where it is heading.' (The Economist) 'What is so useful about Marsh's contribution in The New Industrial Revolution is that he has made an objective assessment of the evidence. And there are few people in Britain who are better equipped to do so.' (Evan Davis, Financial Times) 'The New Industrial Revolution provides an easy-to-read history of industrialisation since Adam Smith's time and pinpoints the contribution of particular people or groups... The book is a light and useful trawl through the five industrial revolutions.' (Guy Arnold, North South)" Zusammenfassung The rapid emergence of China and India as prime locations for low-cost manufacturing has led some analysts to conclude that manufacturers in the "old economies" - the US! UK! Germany! and Japan - are being edged out of a profitable future. This book explores 250 years in the history of manufacturing.
