The thesis defends that the origins of Catalonia’s industrial revolution during the 19th century are in the changes that unfolded in the period between 1660 and 1700, rather than in the late 18th century and that textile production was not central to this process as attested by Narcís Feliu de la Penya’s works.Show less
