Labour, Management and Control: The Early Railway Industry in Britain

Peter Nicholls

Chapter 2 in A Business and Labour History of Britain, 2011, pp 9-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract With Britain’s early pattern of industrialization characterized as erratic and chaotic, it is interesting to consider how the period from the nineteenth century onwards became a period of capitalist development and transition where the very idea of an urban industrial economy moved from an aberration to be avoided or side-stepped to a more permanent reality transforming itself into something more sophisticated and recognizable from the position of the present day.
