Reviews" Industrializing America is a deft and elegantly written survey of the evolution of the nation's economy through the nineteenth century. What is particularly striking about the book as a whole is the remarkable ease with which Licht incorporates a vast array of historical research on the economy, the polity, society, race, gender, class, as well as technology and industrial geography."?Michael A. Bernstein, University of California, San Diego.
