industrializations
Shifts toward manufacturing
Industrializations is the plural of industrialization, the process by which an economy shifts from agriculture and handicrafts to manufacturing and factory production.
The plural appears when comparing different instances: The industrializations of Japan and Germany followed distinct paths.
Each industrialization transforms labor, urbanization, and social structure in ways specific to its context.
