This book is an economic, historical, and sociological examination of rural textile industries in the Lower Rhineland beginning in the sixteenth century, culminating with the age of factory organization in the early 1800s. Drawing on archival sources not available to English language readers, the late Kisch analyzes the evolution of entrepreneurial innovations, the growth of a skilled labor force and changes in institutional mechanisms and patterns of social behavior that prepared this critical economic region for the innovation of factory production that came with the industrial revolution.

Industry Reviews

`It should become standard reading for students doing graduate work in German history and economic history and should be required for the large and growing number of scholars now engaged in study and discussion of the process of industrialization.' David Landes, Harvard University.
