Christopher H. Johnson

Opis

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.

Recenzje

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.
