I highly recommend people read the book "The Ascent of Finance" by Niall Ferguson. It was a change in finance and economics that helped propel the industrial revolution. The book really highlights how crucial finance was, above other factors such as new phhsics and engineering discoveries, which made the early days of capitalism possible.
