Synopsis
How laws shaped industry and labor across Britain.
This accessible history explains how the factory system grew from a new way of making things to the subject of sweeping public policy and legislation.
The book surveys the rise of powered production, the debates that surrounded reform, and the sequence of Factory Acts that guided working conditions, child labor, and factory safety. It combines clear explanations with a readable narrative about the people and ideas that moved industrial regulation forward.
- Clear overview of the factory system, its origins, and its spread
- Examination of how legislation defined and expanded the meaning of a factory
- Discussion of major acts and reforms that shaped labor laws from the early 1800s onward
- Context on the social and economic questions driving reform and the responses of reformers
