Listen "Episode 07 - Why Britain & the West Industrialised First"
Episode Synopsis
Hello everybody, today we're gonna be exploring the underlying causes behind the Industrial Revolution and why the West did it first- and came to rule the globe.
We'll be answering questions like what actually was the Industrial Revolution, how did Western history lead up to it, why Britain in particular started it, and why didn't it happen/rapidly spread elsewhere outside the West?
As always on Polymath, we'll be using lots of different fields to answer these big questions, including history, political philosophy and psychology, and economics. Enjoy!
