It is precisely because of their different characters that France has given the world the Revolution and England the Industrial Revolution, a phenomenon that mechanizes work, that destroys the body and soul of the workers. 2022-06-01T12:16:40Z 2022-06-01T12:16:40Z 2020 chapter ONIX_20220601_9788855181600_401 2704-5919 9788855181600 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/56218 ita Studi e saggi application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 15525.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-160-0_8 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-160-0.08 10.36253/978-88-5518-160-0.08 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855181600 214 21 Florence open access
