SUMMARY:Energy and the industrial revolution: opening Pandora's box - Prof

DESCRIPTION:The two most fundamental transformations of economic life in h
 uman history were the Neolithic food revolution and the industrial revolut
 ion.  It is no surprise that the latter was unexpected by contemporaries\,
  but it is intriguing and instructive that those who were best informed\, 
 such as\, for example\, Adam Smith and the other classical economists\, we
 re explicit that such a transformation was impossible.  The paradox can be
  resolved\, however\, by considering the role of energy supply in the tran
 sformation which was taking place.
