杨豫 . 英国的工业化与小农户的命运[J]. 华东师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版), 2005 , 37(2) : 35 -43, 57 . DOI: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2005.02.007
A census statistics shows that English small farmers, instead of disappearing after the Industrial Revolution, increased by the number in the late nineteenth century, especially in such an in- dustrialized region as Lancashire. This paper concludes that the industrialization created market demands supplied by small farmers, and in turn, created conditions for their existence and development. They made their contributions, by the benefit of technique advances, to economic growth, At the same time they were no longer the peasantry of the traditional type, but became a kind of rural pretty-bourgeoisie in their production, living and status.
