The Tentacles of Progress : Technology Transfer in the Age of Imperialism, 1850-1940.

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

This study analyzes why a massive transfer of Western technology to European colonies between 1850 and 1940 did not create an industrial revolution in those countries. It argues that the transfer of technology caused some colonial regions to become locked in a state of underdevelopment.
