To use econ-speak, It would greatly enhance consumer efficiency not to have to pause the video at exactly the right moment, type the article name into google, look back to make sure everything is spelled right and the author is the same. Multiply that inefficiency times thousands of people ... BAM, you are changing the world by including the links. Great job. :D
You claim that Agricultural revolution preceded the Industrial Revolution in the UK. Can you please provide some evidence of this? I was under the impression that these were actually happening simultaneously in the 17th and 18th Century. The Enclosures of the Commons were occurring at the same time as the development of the Manufacturing sectors in the Cities. How do you explain this?

I would become completely grateful if you also make available at least english subtitles, unfortunately my english is not so good, but subtitles help me a lot and others that don't have much opportunities of speak english.
I'm now wondering about the similarities and differences, strengths and weaknesses, and stories of communities or countries that have sought to leverage tourism or mining on their land as a means for economic development rather than agriculture. Does anyone have any insights on this or references to relevant research? I'd appreciate it!



For those papers that are available freely on the internet - can't MRU even just link directly to them instead of this hassle of finding them ourselves. The Related Materials are generalyl empty.
