Historian 2006 An exceptional study of the actors, events, and especially the ideas that laid the groundwork for industrialization in the early American republic. Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography 2006 Well-structured and clearly written. History of Education Quarterly 2004 Peskin argues that historians have focused too much attention on the process of the Industrial Revolution without properly considering the men who actually convinced the rest of society to go along for the ride. History: Reviews of New Books 2004 Manufacturing Revolution is an important work that greatly enhances understanding of the events that led to the Industrial Revolution, and scholars with interests ranging from the effects of the American Revolution to the economy of the early republic will profit much by reading it. Enterprise and Society 2004 This book offers strong support for interpreting the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as setting a solid foundation for American manufacturing. Peskin provides valuable documentation that this period witnessed ferment in the debate and promotion of manufacturing. EH.Net 2004 Peskin examines the intellectual foundations of economic growth in the early Republic.
