Key Notes
The Industrial Revolution makes the bourgeoisie the new elite and creates a need for property-rights protection, markets, resources, and imperial expansion.
Jiang argues that monarchy cannot secure bourgeois property rights because a king can be overthrown, whereas the nation-state is harder to overthrow and has both the resources and desire for imperialism.
Parliamentary sovereignty energized the middle class by protecting patents, trademarks, and the incentive to get rich, helping lead to the Industrial Revolution.
