Who stole the secret to the Industrial Revolution?
Cooper, Glynis2022
Book
English schoolchildren are taught that Sir Richard Arkwright 'invented the water-frame and was the father of the Industrial Revolution and the factory system'. That is simply not true. The water-powered spinning frame and the 'modern factory system' were pioneered in Italy over 300 years before Richard Arkwright was born. This book tells the story of how the Industrial Revolution in textile manufacture really began.
