In The Industrial Revolution and the Atlantic Economy Brinley Thomas contests this view, arguing that change in the energy base and hence in technology has enabled Britain to overcome an energy crisis and sustain dramatic population growth. Throughout these essays illustrate the organic approach to economic growth that Brinley Thomas pioneered. 606 $aIndustries$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnergy development$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xEconomic conditions$y1760-1860 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndustries$xHistory 615 0$aEnergy development$xHistory 676 $a330.941/07 700 $aThomas$b Brinley$f1906-1994,$0103458 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454955203321 996 $aThe Industrial Revolution and the Atlantic economy$92467398 997 $aUNINA
