Industrialization is viewed as a global phenomenon, and its chronological and geographical coverage is broad. The set covers: classical and contemporary theories of industrialization; empirical studies of countries in Europe, America and Asia; connections between industry and other sectors, including agriculture and banking; and prospects for industrialization as we move towards the Pacific century.
