The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution As told by Dr. Frank Elwell Rate of Innovation Throughout much of the agrarian era, the rate of technological innovation was less than one would expect in view of the size of agrarian societies, the amount of information available to them, and the extent of contact among them. Rate of Innovation The cause of this lay in their highly exploitive social systems, serfdom and slavery in particular, and in the ideologies that shaped their member's economic attitudes and activities. Rate of Innovation Not surprisingly, these had negative feedback effects on both technological and economic development. Late in the agrarian era the rate of innovation in western Europe increased substantially, and by the latter part of the 18th century the Industrial Revolution was well under way.
The land in western Europe was very different from the land in the semiarid Middle East. There the soil was extremely light; in the wetter climate of western Europe the soil was often moist and heavy, making it much harder to plow.
