520 8  Factories, with their ingenious machinery and miraculous 
       productivity, are celebrated as modern wonders of the 
       world. Yet from William Blake's "dark Satanic mills" they 
       have also fuelled our fears of the future. Telling the 
       story of the factory, Joshua B. Freeman takes readers from
       the textile mills in England that powered the Industrial 
       Revolution to the steel and car plants of twentieth-
       century America, Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, to 
       today's behemoths making trainers, toys and iPhones in 
       China and Vietnam. He traces arguments about factories and
       social progress through such critics and champions as Marx,
       Ford and Stalin. And he explores the representation of 
       factories in the work of Margaret Bourke-White, Charlie 
       Chaplin and Diego Rivera.
