The argument that the narrative of the "[Industrial Revolution]" as a sudden, inevitable, and monolithic turning point is itself a historical [construction]. It lumps together disparate, localized [technological] changes (in textiles, steam, iron) into a single, epic story of "Progress" to serve national myths and ideological narratives (like the triumph of capitalism). This construction obscures the alternatives, the brutal costs, and the fact that it wasn't a "revolution" to those living through its decades of messy, uneven change.
