This study applies a structural-differentiation model of social change to the industrial revolution in cotton manufacturing in great britain, 1770-1840, examining both the industry itself and the family structure of the working classes within it. The author offers controversial interpretations of the issues of the restriction on children's and women's labour, strikes, protest movements, trade unions and cooperative societies.
