Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World
Industrial History
A global history of the factory from the early English mills through Soviet combines to the Foxconn megaplants of Shenzhen, arguing the factory shaped modern politics, culture, and class as much as it shaped goods. Wang reads it as the long arc behind his ongoing argument that manufacturing is the substrate of national power.
