It argues that the transfer of technology caused some colonial regions to become locked in a state of underdevelopment.Daniel Headrick examines why the massive transfer of Western technology to European colonies did not spark an industrial revolution in those countries. Rather than spurring economic progress, he argues, the transfer of stock technology between 1850 and 1940 caused the traditional self-sufficient economies of the colonial regions to be stuck in a state of underdevelopment, a legacy which burdens these countries to this day.ImperialismHistoryTechnology transferHistoryGreat BritainColoniesHistoryTropicsEconomic conditionsElectronic books.ImperialismHistory.Technology transferHistory.338.9/26Headrick Daniel R133701MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458523203321The tentacles of progress2057645UNINA
