Was the Industrial Revolution the most important event in human history? Dan is joined by economist and journalist Duncan Weldon to explore why exactly the industrial revolution started on the soggy archipelago of Britain and the impact of its entrepreneurs, politics, and empire had on the country and the rest of the world across the 18th and 19th centuries.They trace a story of ambition and invention—but also upheaval, inequality and consequences and explain what happened and why it still matters.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Matthew Wilson and Dougal Patmore.We'd love to hear your feedback - you can take part in our podcast survey here: <a href="https://insights.historyhit.com/history-hit-podcast-always-on" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://insights.historyhit.com/history-hit-podcast-always-on</a>.You can also email the podcast directly at <a href="mailto:ds.hh@historyhit.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ds.hh@historyhit.com</a>.
