Clark has that gift of authentically captivating and engaging the viewer on 'The dismal science' in a lucid way and is never boring-this is someone who truly loves his subject.
this lecture is exactly what I was looking for..I had to watch twice. This is truly amazing...easily this could have been done in other parts of the world centuries before... Why it didn't happen before? Is it possible it did happen..but we don't know about it since it happened at a much smaller scale! what was the role of financing and the invention of the corporation? That must have played a factor too
Newcomen's Atmospheric pump ( it provided Atmospheric Power ) was around for 70 years.nothing changed, we still depended on water-wheels. 70 years after Watt's invention of world's first PRACTICAL Steam Engine (it provided Steam Power ) the changes were so dramatic, they had to name it an Industrial Revolution. It was a Power Revolution
James Watt didn't invent the steam engine - that is a common error. He greatly improved the first commercially successful steam engine which had been invented by the Englishman, Thomas Newcomen.
@@fhope2776 A steam engine provides steam power. Newcomen's Pump provided Atmospheric Power, a whole 10psi.max. James Watt dumped Newcomen's Atmospheric power and Arkwright's Water-Power for Steam Power He invented the first PRACTICAL Steam engine. It had practically unlimited power and could provide rotary motion, which Newcomen's pump couldn't do. Watt's separate condenser didn't apply to Newcomen's pump, it applied to his own engine. It recirculated hot water and ELIMINATED Atmospheric pressure, which OPPOSES a steam engine. It made Watt's own engine more efficient.
@@fhope2776 Savery and Newcomen's Invention was an Atmospheric Pump, it supplied Atmospheric Power, 10psi. Max. and no Rotary Motion. Watt's Invention was a Steam Engine, it supplied Steam Power, unlimited psi. and Rotary Motion. It was a Power Revolution. There's an Industrial Revolution's worth of difference between them!
In Britain from 1800 to 1900. 20,000 Water-Wheels decreased in number. Windmills decreased in number. The Englishman Thomas Newcomen's, 1,500 Newcomen Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. The Scotsman James Watt's Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!! For every SINGLE Waterwheel in 1800 we now have 500 Steam Engines in 1900 !!! There was a multiplication in total Power Output for the whole country of between 400 and 500 times. A 40,000% to 50,000% increase in Power Output! To 20,000 possible Water-Wheels, you can now add 10,000,000 Steam Engines !!! If that's not an Industrial Revolution, then I don't know what is! And it was all due to James Watt Steam Engines and their descendants and Steam Power! It was a Power Revolution. As you say, the Industrial Revolution was absolutely nothing to do with Textiles and Textile machinery.
Take away Textiles and Textile machinery, you'd still have an Industrial Revolution. Take away Watt's Steam Power and Steam machinery, there'd have been no Industrial Revolution! No Steam Boats, no Locomotives, no Thousands more Steam driven Factories! Just Newcomen Atmospheric Pumps and Arkwright's Water-Power.

As far as I know James Watt wasn't in any industry when he invented the Steam Engine, he worked in a university.
The movement of people was the movement toward the middle class. This mass Migration from agriculture to city was a needed along with the industrialization as both went hand in hand. You cannot have mass production unless you have that labor force to operate the machines of the era. Thus this was the buying public middle class that made the manufacture of goods profitable and thus the economic upturn and the most driving force that people saw to work and have a higher standard of living than those that did farm work.
Great course package (MALTHUS UCDAVIS). Concepts useful for estimation of market size, eco growth, business life cycle, business valuation, impact of Schumpeter innovation, effects of incentives, role of govt and regulatory bodies, effects of public policies, taxation, regulations, demographic shift, trade and commerce mechanics etc. Can the CROWD on TH-cam suggest any more applications (& how) for these MALTHUSIAN CONCEPTS.
Industrial Revolution could not have occurred in England unless Robert Clive occupied Bengal in India, from where all the capital to build factories in England came. But the British historians do not mention that at all. The money came from the exploitation of Bengal in India since it was occupied by the East India Company in 1757. India also provided the market in the 19th century and as a result industry in India was wiped out due to the free trade with Britain.
Honestly, that is nonsense. Historians have examined this and the consensus that I have read and was taught was that the wealth in England was more than enough for the capital required to industrialise. Capital gained from Empire at this time was usually invested in projects in the colonies, it was trade that was the real money-spinner. Also, not sure why you think the wealth came from India when it is pretty well established that the slave-based economies of the Americas were more financially important at the time due to the trade of goods to Europe. In fact, Scotland's industrial revolution is very much linked to the Americas, due to the wealth of being a trade hub for goods between the Americas and Europe, with tobacco being half of all Scotland's exports at one point.
Is this a geography class? Please help my geography teacher wants me to do explain why the revolution start & how the industrial revolution impact geography the rest of the world

We're talking abt Chinese coolie labourers who were only marginally aboe being slaves considering the tiny amounts of money they had to survive on. Life was extremely cheap in China of 1900 & what puzzles me is how or why insurance rates had to be calculated for these folks at all, since I deeply doubt any of them cd have afforded insurance of any kind.
English insurance companies employed 'Actuaries' to determine insurance rates for labourers in turn of the 19C century China. The actuarial studies showed that coolie labourers who were addicted to smoking opium lived longer & enjoyed better health than their unaddicted counterparts. Consequently insurance rates for opium addicts were lower than for those without this 'vice'. Anything which dulls pain & allows longer working hours is welcomed by capitalist bosses.
I hear Clark saying nothing happened for a hundred thousand years. But this is not true. What about Rome? And other empires? Just because we seem to be a big blip on the graph does not make us qualitatively different than all former empires.

Giant fan of this professor. Have re-watched multiple lectures and purchased his books.
Highly informative lecture on a complicated subject.
hank you so much for posting this video ! it's really interesting !!
Nothing before or since has ever compared to this momentous event in Britain which ultimately moulded our world.
Thanks for this, but could you put a link to the list of connected lectures in the series? TH-cam is very unclear at finding them.
Omg, so much better than my teachers.
The main contribution to the IDR is the canals, allowing large amounts of goods to be moved at low cost.

Thank you very much
brilliant lecture ... i have always been fascinated by the british miracle ... which was the original miracle economy
ticklewit looters economy
population growth economy
garbage economy

oh thanks a lot for the video... was really helpful :)
The revolution in farming was due to trains moving goods to the citys and being sold the same day and mechanisation of farming.
wow, u wrote that 8 years ago
Good job

What he doesn't mention is the revolution in the use of language. i.e. new words and phrases being created and distributed around the country.

This WAS the Industrial Revolution, and it only needed one Invention,
James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine in Scotland. It was the only thing that had never existed before.
The Industrial Revolution was nothing to do with Textiles, Spinning and Weaving, canals, Agriculture etc.etc.etc. but they all benefited from it.
It happened once and I don't think it'll happen again.
Take away James Watt's Steam Power and you don't get an Industrial Revolution.
I am British and proud to be but the Opium Wars were a real low point in our history. But there were great things about the Industrial Revolution.
is that why german sank all those ships LUL the captain and the ships design is more important than the number of ships.
