The Unbound Prometheus by David S. Landes
Technological Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present
A sweeping economic and social history that explains how the harnessing of coal, steam power, machinery, capital investment, and new managerial and entrepreneurial practices unleashed a sustained surge in productive power during the Industrial Revolution; it analyzes technological innovation, labor and skill formation, institutional and regional differences, and the diffusion of industry to show why industrialization began where it did and how it reshaped economies and societies across Europe and beyond.
