The debate on world poverty and globalisation is one which began two centuries ago in the wake of the French Revolution. A major historian traces the history of those arguments and relates them to current discussions and policies. In the 1790s there was a fundamental shift in attitudes to poverty (led by Condorcet and Tom Paine), one which believed that poverty could be alleviated or even eliminated, by moving towards a society in which, in Paine's words, we would no 'longer see age going to the workhouse and youth to the gallows'; one in which many disadvantages would be relieved by right. Such thinking was robustly countered by Christian evangelicals. But it surfaced again from the late nineteenth century, forming the ideas of social reformers such as the Webbs and Edwardian thinkers about the welfare state. The book is published to coincide with the Anglo-American Historical Conference on 'Wealth and Poverty'.Review: [Stedman Jones] produces an argument that is not only powerful in its own right but should act as a stimulus and inspiration to others.

Ce volume rassemble les actes d’un colloque tenu au Conservatoire national des arts et métiers et à la Cité des sciences et de l’industrie en 2001. Les discontinuités techniques examinées à la lumière de la notion de « révolution industrielle » en constituent le sujet central. Les auteurs, convaincus de la diversité des expériences en Europe et dans les mondes extra-européens, proposent de faire un nouvel usage de la notion de « révolution industrielle ». Loin de réduire le changement technique au front étroit des secteurs pionniers et de la grande industrie, ils mettent l’accent sur la pluralité des modes de production, sur les relations dialectiques nouées entre les générations techniques et sur la multiplicité des formes de l’innovation. L’artisanat, longtemps relégué dans la routine et le passéisme, apparaît riche de ressources. Ces études offrent une vision différenciée et non finaliste des processus d’intensification technique. L’échelle chronologique est celle des longues durées, du Moyen Âge à l’époque contemporaine. Dans leurs approches spatiales, les auteurs ont privilégié les changements d’échelle et les comparaisons. Par leur relecture du concept de « révolution industrielle », les historiens des techniques apportent ainsi une contribution majeure à la discipline historique dans son ensemble.
