Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain industrialisation as a historical and economic process, relay major cases and debates with attribution, describe its effects, and distinguish the process from the Industrial Revolution and from industrialised construction.

The process of social and economic transformation from an agrarian economy to one based on manufacturing and mechanised production, involving factories, wage labour, urbanisation, technological change and new institutions, beginning with the British Industrial Revolution and spreading in waves across Europe, North America, Japan, the Soviet Union and East Asia, with debates over state-led and market-led paths and over late industrialisation; the term also names industrialised construction using prefabricated components.

What it is for: Not applicable; a process of change.

It can be explain the process; relay cases and debates; describe effects; distinguish related senses.

Distinguishing features

Factory production

Urbanisation

Structural change

Contested paths

What it looks like

Not a visible object; factories, cities and infrastructure as its signs.

Physical character

British Industrial Revolution: about 1760-1840 years - conventional dating

How it is recognised

Shift to mechanised manufacturing economy

Waves of industrialisation, state-led and market-led paths, industrialised construction

The Industrial Revolution is the first case; deindustrialisation is the reverse; modernisation is broader

  • How should economic history sources be linked?
  • How should debates over state-led industrialisation be recorded?
