This is our first remotely recorded episode during lock-down in South Africa (hence the difference in audio). In this episode, Colin and I explore the changes in farming that laid the foundation for the start of the Industrial Revolution in England. We discuss the enclosure movement, changes in farming techniques and technology, and the sharing of farming information. For this episode we draw on the work of Patrick Allitt who teaches a course on the Industrial Revolution on @TheGreatCourses.
