We take a close look at local government during the 1700-1850 period. What work happened at the parish level?
The Poor Laws, a unique British institution, are examined for their possible contribution to the Industrial Revolution. Also, the private provision of public goods.
We also look at whether a more agentic population, free to act, because unlike on the continent, they don't need permission for everything, contributes to the miracle as well.
