Life and Death of Industrial Languedoc, 1700-1920

Zusatztext impressive ... This is not a narrow! dry 'economic history' ... this is essentially a very good book ... a well-researched! powerfully argued and deeply-felt book! and one with obvious relevance to analysis of the strategies of global capitalism in our own grim era. Klappentext In this seminal book! Christopher Johnson writes a full-scale study of the rise and decline of industrialization in the Bas-Languedoc region of France. Working within a broad 200-year frame! Johnson examines the process of how and why a successful industrial region transformed itself to agriculture. Johnson is primarily interested in de-industrialization! which sets him apart from previous historians who have studied regions only in terms of the growth toward industrialization.
