摘要
16至18世纪是英国由农业社会向工业社会转型的时期,地主阶级中的一部分人顺应了商品经济发展的要求,为攫取更多利润,他们改变原有土地经营方式,在地产的基础上从事矿业和交通运输业,从而为工业革命创造了必要的物质条件。从这个意义讲,地主是英国早期工业发展的“革新者”、“赞助者”、“投资者”和“开拓者”。
From the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, England experienced a period of social transformation from the agricultural society to the industrial society. Adapting to the requirements of the merchandised economy, some members of the landed class changed their former land management modes to make more profits. They were engaged mainly in mining industry and in communications improvements on their estates, which created the necessary material conditions for the subsequent Industrial Revolution. In this sense, the landowners were ＂innovators＂, ＂promoters＂, ＂investors＂ and ＂pioneers＂ in the early development of British industry.
