Abstract

Abstract Patrick O’Brien has dedicated most of his career to studying British economic history, focusing on the Industrial Revolution, its antecedents, characteristics and consequences. He has always paid attention to long-term developments and never confined himself to strictly economic aspects. From the late 1990s onward, he increasingly turned ‘global’. His importance for global history cannot be overstated. His essay in this issue presents the outcome of his long intellectual journey. I will in this rejoinder try to assess his approach and his findings and comment on Patrick as a scholar and as a person. As we are close friends I will be critical.

帕特里克·奥布莱恩谈工业化，小英国和更广阔的世界

摘要帕特里克·奥布莱恩的大部分职业生涯都致力于研究英国经济史，重点关注工业革命及其前因、特点和后果。他一向注重长远发展，从不拘泥于经济方面。从20世纪90年代末开始，他越来越“全球化”。他对全球历史的重要性怎么强调都不为过。他在本期的文章展示了他漫长的知识之旅的成果。在这次答辩中，我将尝试评估他的方法和发现，并评论帕特里克作为一名学者和一个人。由于我们是亲密的朋友，我会持批评态度。

期刊介绍： Journal of Global History addresses the main problems of global change over time, together with the diverse histories of globalization. It also examines counter-currents to globalization, including those that have structured other spatial units. The journal seeks to transcend the dichotomy between "the West and the rest", straddle traditional regional boundaries, relate material to cultural and political history, and overcome thematic fragmentation in historiography. The journal also acts as a forum for interdisciplinary conversations across a wide variety of social and natural sciences. Published for London School of Economics and Political Science
