The Industrial Revolution and the Industrious Revolution
提出“勤勉革命”这一新概念，将其置于更广阔的历史背景中，认为勤勉革命是家庭层面的资源重新配置过程，增加了市场商品和劳动力的供给以及对市场商品的需求，是工业革命之前的需求侧变化。
The Industrial Revolution as a historical concept has many shortcomings. A new concept—the “industrious revolution”—is proposed to place the Industrial Revolution in a broader historical setting. The industrious revolution was a process of household-based resource reallocation that increased both the supply of marketed commodities and labor and the demand for market-supplied goods. The industrious revolution was a household-level change with important demand-side features that preceded the Industrial Revolution, a supply-side phenomenon. It has implications for nineteenth- and twentieth-century economic history.
