But that policy typically only comes in after the industrialists rise to power in a nation. For that to happen, a nation needs more industry.

The book I mentioned in the video is "An Economic History of Nineteenth-Century Europe: Diversity and Industrialization" by Ivan Berend, Cambridge University Press, published November 2012.
