Abstract: Abstract What is a revolutionRevolution, anyway? MaoMao, Z. famously said that it was “not a dinner party”, or any other refined and peaceable activity, but “an insurrection, an act of violenceViolence by which one classClass overthrows another” (MaoMao, Z. Mao, Z. (1967). Quotations from chairman Mao Tse-tung (2nd ed.). Foreign Languages Press., 11). The musician Gil Scott HeronHeron, Gil Scott sang “the revolution will not be televised” in a song of the same name on his 1971 Pieces of a man album (Flying Dutchman/RCA). Instead, he noted the revolution would be live and violent. These are the colourful words of artists and activists. This chapter reviews the more bloodless theories of the causes and effects of political, social and economic revolution articulated by scholars and how industrialisation has affected this.
