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.’

EL PRIMER PRESIDENTE DE MÉXICO.

	

Vicente Guerrero asume la presidencia de la República.

Abril 1 de 1829
Recibe el poder ejecutivo de manos de Guadalupe Victoria, primer Presidente de México. Lo ha nombrado el Congreso tras anular unas elecciones en las que había resultado vencedor Manuel Gómez Pedraza y perdedor Vicente Guerrero. Pero cuyo resultado había sido impugnado con el argumento de que las votaciones habían sido hechas en los estados donde predominaban los conservadores. De esta impugnación había surgido el levantamiento armado llamado el motín de la Acordada, y Gómez Pedraza había renunciado al cargo y salido del país.

Guerrero trata de encargar a personas aptas el despacho de los asuntos de estado e integra su gabinete con: José María Bocanegra, secretario de Relaciones Interiores y Exteriores; Francisco Moctezuma, de Guerra y Marina; José Manuel de Herrera, de Justicia y Negocios Eclesiásticos y –buscando contemporizar intereses- nombra a Lorenzo de Zavala, de Hacienda; él mismo en su Ensayo Histórico confesará que su absoluta inexperiencia en éste ámbito le “hizo engolfarse en los mismo desastrosos contratos que con grande ardor había reprobado en sus antecesores”. Con estos nombramientos la posición de las logias se divide aun más cuando Anastasio Bustamante es nombrado vicepresidente; él por su extracción, carácter y educación, no puede ser amigo de los insurgentes ni de Guerrero.

Aparentemente el ascenso al poder de Guerrero se debe al apoyo popular, sin embargo, muy pronto la sociedad estará inquieta pues personas sin mérito aspirarán a obtener puestos ventajosos; la “gente decente” despreciará su ascendencia mulata, sus malos modales y su falta de educación; el clero –que había reducido los dogmas a prácticas vanas y fanáticas- sólo tratará de mantener sus posiciones y el ejército, acostumbrado a pelear y a ver con desprecio al grupo en el poder al que ha combatido, no sabrá ahora qué postura adoptar.

La opinión pública clamará por la...
