Episode 12: The Two Goats

Tea and the Industrial RevolutionA Cambridge professor says that a change in drinking habits was the reason for the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Anjana Abuja reports

A    

Alan Macfarlane, professor of anthropological science at King’s College, Cambridge has, like other historians, spent decades wrestling with the enigma of the Industrial Revolution. Why did this particular Big Bang – the world-changing birth of industry-happen in Britain? And why did it strike at the end of the 18th century?

B     

Macfarlane compares the puzzle to a combination lock. ‘There are about 20 different factors and all of them need to be present before the revolution can happen,’ he says. For industry to take off, there needs to be the technology and power to drive factories, large urban populations to provide cheap labour, easy transport to move goods around, an affluent middle-class willing to buy mass-produced objects, a market-driven economy and a political system that allows this to happen. While this was the case for England, other nations, such as Japan, the Netherlands and France also met some of these criteria but were not industrialising. All these factors must have been necessary. But not sufficient to cause the revolution, says Macfarlane. ‘After all, Holland had everything except coal while China also had many of these factors. Most historians are convinced there are one or two missing factors that you need to open the lock.’

On January 1, music magazine Rolling Stone released its list of "The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time," including famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, and many more.

Rolling Stone first released a list of its "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" in 2008, and has added 100 more artists for 2023.

Aretha Franklin is again number one on the list, with Rolling Stone calling her singing "the most magnificent sound" to ever come out of America.

Next is Whitney Houston at number two, while soul singer Sam Cooke is number three. Jazz singer Billie Holiday is fourth, while pop star Mariah Carey is fifth.



However, some music fans are unhappy that their favorite artists are very low on the list, or aren't included at all.

For example, some Twitter users are angry that Michael Jackson is number 86, while Beyoncé is in the top 10.

Rolling Stone seemed to expect mixed reactions, writing that people should remember that this is the "Greatest Singers" list, not the "Greatest Voices" list.

The magazine said it was looking at things like originality, how many songs someone made and how much they changed music, not just how well they could sing.

Many Twitter users are also angry that Céline Dion was not included on the list — with more than one calling it "a crime against humanity."

The Canadian singer is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with many Grammy awards and even several Oscars for her songs from films, including Titanic and Beauty and the Beast.

Madonna and Justin Bieber are also not on the list, while Ariana Grande and Bob Dylan are.
