This volume tells a story of
Welsh industrial history different from the one traditionally dominated
by the coal and iron communities of Victorian and Edwardian Wales.
Extending the chronological scope from the early eighteenth- to the late
twentieth-century, and encompassing a wider range of industries, the
contributors combine studies of the internal organisation of workplace
and production with outward-facing perspectives of Welsh industry in the
context of the global economy. The volume offers important new insights
into the companies, the employers, the markets and the money behind
some of the key sectors of the Welsh economy – from coal to copper, and
from steel to manufacturing – and challenges us to reconsider what we
think of as constituting ‘industry’ in Wales.
