While we’re revisiting the Industrial Revolution and the distortions of its historians, let me recommend Ralph Raico’s talk on the subject from the 2001 Mises University (MP3).
Also, in Robert LeFevre’s talks on the fear of a free market, he spends 4 sessions reviewing the Industrial Revolution: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 (also all MP3).
