The British Industrial Revolution in Global Perspective（ISBN=9780521687850） pdf mobi txt 2024 电子版 下载

Why did the industrial revolution take place in

eighteenth-century Britain and not elsewhere in Europe or Asia? In

this convincing new account Robert Allen argues that the British

industrial revolution was a successful response to the global

economy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He shows that

in Britain wages were high and capital and energy cheap in

comparison to other countries in Europe and Asia. As a result, the

breakthrough technologies of the industrial revolution - the steam

engine, the cotton mill, and the substitution of coal for wood in

metal production - were uniquely profitable to invent and use in

Britain. The high wage economy of pre-industrial Britain also

fostered industrial development since more people could afford

schooling and apprenticeships. It was only when British engineers

made these new technologies more cost-effective during the

nineteenth century that the industrial revolution would spread

around the world.

Why did the industrial revolution take place in eighteenth-century Britain and not elsewhere in Europe or Asia? In this convincing new account Robert Allen argues that the British industrial revolution was a successful response to the global economy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He shows that in Britain wages were high and capital and energy cheap in comparison to other countries in Europe and Asia. As a result, the breakthrough technologies of the industrial revolution - the steam engine, the cotton mill, and the substitution of coal for wood in metal production - were uniquely profitable to invent and use in Britain. The high wage economy of pre-industrial Britain also fostered industrial development since more people could afford schooling and apprenticeships. It was only when British engineers made these new technologies more cost-effective during the nineteenth century that the industrial revolution would spread around the world.

  一星扣给翻译，旁征博引，妙想纷呈。从法律到进化到武器工程到神经科学到心理到文字学与文学。隐约感觉有所脉络，但没有展开讲，颇为可惜……何时人才能有这等洞见啊。

  4+ 在我看来作者有点过于强调劳动力价格差的作用，虽然这个要素无疑很重要。本书最赞之处在于作者做经济史的扎实功底。

  英国工业革命发生的原因： cheap coal, cheap capital, high wage，因而能够促使刺激 R&D 用技术代替人力。当英国不断R&D将技术改进使其他国家也能用得起能源来代替人力的时候，工业革命扩散了。high wage 的来源：intercontinental trade & Black Death。荷兰比利时同样high wage 却没有首先发生工业革命的原因：coal的knock on effect 很多，荷兰被peat choke off了，比利时地区过小，且由于政治边界的缘故无法获取煤（自己加一条：英国禁运了印度的raw cotton, 荷兰没有）。

  英國的高價勞工與廉價煤礦，催生節約勞資的新技術。技術發明的宏觀微觀兩步論，受Mokyr影響。王國斌借用此書的價格理論，再從政治分合切入，作平行比較，又更次之。Rosenthal屬死理性派，拋出經濟學中常見的數學公式，卻忘記了經濟史的人文關懷，功夫沒到家。好的社科研究，不該是障眼法。

  第一，传统观念认为是先发生了农业革命，然后推动了工业革命。但英国由于原生工业、国际商贸的繁荣，导致了城市的迅猛扩张，旺盛的城市需求和庞大农业市场形成，刺激了农业技术创新以及经营模式改进。农业革命与工业革命之间的因果关系要倒过来。

  第二，出现科学革命，不一定能发明出有实用价值的蒸汽机，有了蒸汽机，也不一定就会推动出现工业革命。道理很简单，有需求才会有供给。如果没有急迫的需求，没有企业和个人会付出高昂的代价把科学发现转化为实用技术，如果没有需求，发明没有用武之地，也就没有回报，谁又会消耗大量精力和金钱投入非实用技术的研发。

  第三，廉价化石燃料与高工资是英国当时独有的现象。煤炭储量丰富，使英国有条件从木炭转为普及使用化石燃料，带动了煤炭业兴盛。有商有价值的蒸汽机诞生，初衷是为了满足煤矿排水需要，所以它才会诞生在英国。高工资现象长期存在，使得英国商家对节约人力成本的技术和经营创新非常感兴趣，成为发明创新的巨大推动力。
