The Life and Death of Industrial Languedoc 1700-1920 by Christopher H. Johnson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

In this seminal book, Christopher Johnson writes a full-scale study of the rise and decline of industrialization in the Bas-Languedoc region of France. Working within a broad 200-year frame, Johnson examines the process of how and why a successful industrial region transformed itself toagriculture. Johnson is primarily interested in de-industrialization, which sets him apart from previous historians who have studied regions only in terms of the growth toward industrialization. | The Life and Death of Industrial Languedoc 1700-1920 by Christopher H.
