Abstract New indices of industrial production show that Britain's industrial growth in the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first decades of the nineteenth century was about a third slower than currently available estimates indicate. Therefore, mid-eighteenth-century industrial output was nearly twice as high as previously assumed. Journal Information The Journal of Economic History is devoted to the multidisciplinary study of history and economics, and is of interest not only to economic historians but to social and demographic historians, as well as economists in general. The journal has broad coverage, in terms of both methodology and geographic scope. Topics covered include money and banking, trade, manufacturing, technology, transportation, industrial organisation, labour, agriculture, servitude, demography, education, economic growth, and the role of government and regulation. In addition, an extensive book review section keeps readers informed about the latest work in economic history and related fields.

What was the importance of cotton industry for Britain?The impact of Britain's imperial trade links allowed cotton as a fabric to have a dominant impact on culture, clothing and style. By the eighteenth century, the middle classes were seeking a fabric which would meet their demands for durability but also colour and ease of washing; cotton fitted the bill.
What is the role of the cotton industry on the Industrial Revolution?Cotton was a main raw material of the industrial revolution. Its strong fibres were uniquely suited to the hard mechanical treatment in the spinning machinery. The fibre was cultivated in the colonies in India and the Middle East and in the USA, where until 1860 it was produced largely by slave labour.
Which was the main industry during 18th century in England?In the middle of the eighteenth century England was not to any noteworthy extent a manufacturing country, the most important industry being agriculture and occupations relating to it.
Where did Britain get cotton from during the Industrial Revolution?Britain. During the 18th and 19th centuries, much of the imported cotton came from plantations in the American South.
