Description
Industrialization is the process of transforming an economy from a traditional agricultural society to an industrial society. This process can be divided into three stages: pre-industrialization, industrialization, and post-industrialization. The pre-industrial stage is characterized by a society that is primarily agricultural, while the industrial stage is characterized by a society that is primarily industrial. The post-industrial stage is characterized by a society that is both industrial and information-based.

The set covers: * Classical and contemporary theories of industrialization * Empirical studies of countries in Europe, America and Asia * Connections between industry and other sectors, including agriculture and banking * Prospects for industrialization as we move towards the Pacific century.
