Cambridge Series 6: Opening Pandora’s Box – A New Look at the Industrial Revolution
Event 151 • • Venue: Elmley Foundation Theatre
Eminent economic historian Professor Sir Tony Wrigley explains how fossil fuel allowed the Industrial Revolution to continue and sustained economic growth to occur. He explains why all previous industrial revolutions foundered, and why this one has opened Pandora's Box, releasing previously unknown new forces: massively greater standards of living and unprecedented environmental and social perils.
