This book (originally published in 1988 and now with a new preface) explores Manchester’s transformation into ‘Cottonopolis,’ the world’s first industrial city. Focusing on the factory’s relationship with the warehouse, it examines competing production systems, business trends, and the factory's impact on political economy and development.
