Episode 3. Economic and social change – 1714 to 1785

The 18th century represents a pivotal moment bridging early modern Britain with the social, economic and technological  transformations of the Industrial Revolution.

In Episode 3, Professor Emma Griffin (Queen Mary University of London), explores this period of invention, innovation and entrepreneurialism, how it affected ordinary families, and its role in the emergence of new social classes, classes that would soon challenge Britain and Ireland’s status quo.
