Indeed, the later industrialization began, the more conscious those efforts appear to have become, given the larger investment push that was usually required to achieve catch-up (TDR 2003, 2016). For example, structural change in Britain betw een 1760 and 1860 was not simply the fortuitous product of technological breakthroughs and entrepreneurial endeavour, but rather the intertwining of a series of industrial, agricultural and demographic changes. The private capital behind these changes was often on a relatively small scale but more significant investments were needed in physical and social infrastructure to ensure the required linkages across the newdy emerging activities and to support businesses, workers and society buffeted by these changes.
