Volumes contain technical articles ranging widely in subject, time and region, as well as general papers on the history of technology. In addition to dealing with the history of technical discovery and change, History of Technology also explores the relations of technology to other aspects of life -- social, cultural and economic -- and shows how technological development has shaped, and been shaped by, the society in which it occurred."--Bloomsbury Publishing.History of TechnologyHistory of technology.TechnologyHistoryGeneral & world historyTechnologyHistory.609Hollister-Short GrahamUtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910798413403321History of technology56332UNINA04813oam 2200901I 450 991078395390332120230207225243.01-134-41681-41-134-41682-21-138-15300-10-203-40862-40-585-46143-01-280-06998-810.4324/9780203408629 (CKB)1000000000255262(EBL)180886(OCoLC)70749151(SSID)ssj0000238506(PQKBManifestationID)11191303(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000238506(PQKBWorkID)10234652(PQKB)10429463(SSID)ssj0000308492(PQKBManifestationID)12114196(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000308492(PQKBWorkID)10258264(PQKB)10729711(SSID)ssj0000365374(PQKBManifestationID)11925578(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000365374(PQKBWorkID)10402682(PQKB)11181546(MiAaPQ)EBC180886(Au-PeEL)EBL180886(CaPaEBR)ebr10097002(CaONFJC)MIL6998(OCoLC)52740613(EXLCZ)99100000000025526220180331d2002 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe rise of professional society England since 1880 /Harold Perkin2nd ed.London ;New York :Routledge,2002.1 online resource (631 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-415-30178-5 0-415-04975-X Includes bibliographical references (p. 520-577) and index.Book Cover; Title; Contents; Introduction to the 2002 edition; Preface to the first edition; The meaning of professional society; Class versus hierarchy; Professional rivalries and the state; The culmination of the Industrial Revolution; The zenith of class society; The height of inequality; The climacteric of British capitalism; The decline of Liberal England; The fear of the poor; A segregated society; The riven middle class; Lives apart: the remaking of the working class; Class society and the professional ideal; Professionalism and property; The defence of propertyThe professional ideal and the origins of the welfare stateThe crisis of class society; The aborted pre-war crisis; The supreme test of class society; The crisis averted; A halfway house: society in war and peace; The great divide, 1914 18; Social change between the wars; The old order changeth; 'Money isn't everything'; Spiralists and burgesses; The road from Wigan Pier; Towards a corporate society; The corporate economy; The corporate state; The corporate society; The triumph of the professional ideal; The professional ideal and the decline of the industrial spiritProfessionalism and human capitalThe condescension of professionalism; The plateau of professional society; The Second World War and the revolution in expectations; 'Most of our people have never had it so good'; The bifurcation of the professional ideal; The persistence of class; The backlash against professional society; Professionalism under fire; Rolling back the state?; The resurgence of the free market ideology; Britain's economic decline and the political dilemma; Notes; IndexThe Rise of Professional Society lays out a stimulating and controversial framework for the study of British society, challenging accepted paradigms based on class analysis.
