Industry and Empire is a comprehensive analysis of the history of Great Britain from 1750 to the present, written by Eric Hobsbawm. The book explores the transformation of Great Britain through the Industrial Revolution and its impact on society, the economy, and politics. Hobsbawm examines how Great Britain became the world's first industrial power and how this process affected the different social classes and regions of the country.
Eric John Ernest Hobsbawm was a British historian of the rise of industrial capitalism, socialism and nationalism. His best-known works include his tetralogy about what he called the "long 19th century" and the "short 20th century", and an edited volume that introduced the influential idea of "invented traditions". He was a life-long Marxist, and his socio-political convictions influenced the character of his work.
