DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\n\nLabor Market Conflict and Technical Change: The Political Economy of In
 novation in the Industrial Revolution"\n\n\nAbstract:\nWe study conflict in
  the labor market as a factor driving technical change. The legalization of
  unions was an exogenous shock to the cost of conflict in the Industrial Re
 volution. We investigate how this shock impacted technology and labor marke
 ts. The impact concentrated in the textiles industry, which pioneered the m
 echanized factory, was differentially exposed to labor conflict, and drove 
 modern growth. After unions were legalized, patenting increased significant
 ly in textiles, especially for high quality invention; strikes drove increa
 ses in textiles invention; and the direction and bias of technical change s
 hifted towards unskilled, non-union labor, including female and child labor
