Clocks and Economic Growth
- danharaj 8y agoIf you completely ignore the violent history of the industrial revolution and reduce prosperity to statistics like population growth, it's such a happy story! I for one am totally happy that the day is accurately cut into precise pieces so that the best time can be sold off so that I can eat. Economic history doesn't need to be tinged with a teleological and moral angle-- unless you got something to sell.
