Description: This book traces the history of iron and steel manufacturing from ancient techniques to the late 19th century. The author examines pivotal technological advancements, such as the blast furnace, the use of coke, the puddling process, and the Bessemer process. The author also examines how these advancements changed the scale and efficiency of iron and steel production. The book situates these developments within their broader economic and social context, exploring how they shaped international trade, resource competition, and labor conditions. The author argues that these innovations profoundly impacted not only the iron and steel industries but also the broader course of industrialization and economic growth.
