Abstract

The aim of our article 'Rehabihtating the industrial revolution' was to
broaden the debate about the extent and nature of change in the
economy and society of the industrial revolution. In 'Output growth and
the British industrial revolution' Crafts and Harley reassert their position
on the beginnings of modern economic growth, and dismiss our criticisms
as confused and misleading. In doing this they have misconstrued a number
of our arguments for a broader treatment of the industrial revolution in
order to score clever debating points. A number of these can be answered
very briefly.
