Selection of 50 from the 94 laws created by Sir Ambrose Crowley and his son John in the early eighteenth century for the governing of their ironworks, probably the largest in Europe in their day. They 'anticipated by many generations the patriachal industrialism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries'. Presented in the following sections: the laws and their enforcement, the organization of the factory (administration, finance and accounting, duties of officers and clerks, the handling and processing of iron, the workmen) and welfare (welfare services and the finance of poor relief). Unique in providing a detailed contemporary description of the industrial and social organization of an unusual community. Includes glossary. Economic and social history, 17c.

The Industrial Revolution provided the greatest increase in living standards the world has ever known while propelling Britain to dominance on the global stage. In Forging Modernity, Martin Hutchinson looks at how and why Britain gained this prize ahead of its European competitors. After comparing their endowments and political structures as far back as 1600, he then traces how Britain, through better policies primarily from the political Tory party, diverged from other European countries. Hutchinson's Harvard MBA allows a unique perspective on the early industrial enterprises - many successes resulted from marketing, control systems and logistics rather than from production technology alone, while on a national scale the scientific method and commercial competition were as important as physical infrastructure. By 1830, through ever-improving policies, Britain had built a staggering industrial lead, half a century ahead of its rivals. Then the Tories lost power and policy changed forever. In his conclusion, Hutchinson shows how changes welcomed by conventional historians caused the decline of Industrial Britain. Nevertheless, the policies that drove growth, ingenuity and rising living standards are still available for those bold enough to adopt them.

The eighteenth century is often viewed as the heroic age of the British iron industry - a time of triumphant technological progress. In fact, it was an age of thwarted ambition, when the take-up of new technologies proved frustratingly slow. The eighteenth century was more accurately the age of Baltic iron. Swedish and Russian iron surged onto the British market, meeting the demand that British ironmasters could not satisfy. This was of epochal importance: Swedish iron allowed British steel makers and hardware manufacturers to dominate Atlantic markets. In turn, the rhythms of Atlantic commerce resounded through peasant communities in Sweden. Baltic iron in the Atlantic world captures this moment. In doing so it internationalises Swedish history in a radical way and presses an oceanic perspective on the traditionally insular view of the rise of heavy industry in Britain.

Policing the Factory describes the operation of various private policing agencies, employed to track down and prosecute workplace offenders. The authors focus in particular on the Worsted Committee and their Inspectors, who, between 1777 and 1968, prosecuted thousands of workers in the north of England for taking home workplace scraps, or wasting their employer's time. Most of the workers prosecuted spent a month in prison upon conviction, and many more were dismissed from employment without any formal legal action taking place. This book explores how, and under what legislative basis, the criminal law could be brought into private spaces in this period and goes on suggest that the activities of the Inspectorate inhibited the development of public policing in Yorkshire. The book presents case studies, newspaper comment, memoirs, and statistics based on detailed archival analysis of court records, to create a richly textured story which will inform and challenge contemporary debates on policing and police history.

This important work will serve to change irrevocably the course, nature and future of management education. For the first time, the foundations of management are brought to life through historical analysis. Never attempted or achieved before, the book takes the reader on a journey through almost the whole of human history, viewed from a management perspective. The study of management will be utterly transformed by this daringly innovative new paradigm for the understanding of the types of human management, the different approaches, practices and systems, and their development over time. The book also provides a summation of the author’s accumulation of over two decades of experience and knowledge in management education, and three decades of applied action in the world of business.
