Beginning in the late Middle Ages, and accelerating in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, there developed in many rural regions of Europe a domestic industry, mass-producing craft goods for distant markets. This book presents an analysis of this ’industrialization before industrialization’, and considers the question whether it constituted a distinct mode of production, different from the preceding feudal economy and from subsequent industrial capitalism, or was part of a process of continuous evolution characterized by the spread of wage labour and the penetration of capital

This volume explores Japan’s industrialization from the perspective of "indigenous development", focusing on what may be identified as "traditional" or "indigenous" industries.

This text outlines a new model of industrial organization and its evolution. It aims to overturn conventional assumptions about the relationship between industrial and developing countries. By drawing together disparate strands of knowledge about historical patterns of industrial development and dominance, the role of firms in creating and disseminating eco-efficient practices and the inevitable dominance of private direct investment over official aid in developing countries, it argues that developing countries have an opportunity to use environmentally sustainable development as an organizing

This book aims to focus attention on the complex and inter-related problems - social, economic, political, and geographical - that come with development, placing particular emphasis on th
