Book Synopsis Structures of Change in the Mechanical Age by : Ross Thomson
Book excerpt: The United States registered phenomenal economic growth between the establishment of the new republic and the end of the Civil War. This study argues that the transition of the United States from an agrarian economy in 1790 to an industrial leader in 1865 relied fundamentally on the spread of technological knowledge within and across industries.
