1) Steinberg argues that there is a problem in the historical research on industrialization. He argues that the struggle to control nature is as important to the industrialization process as the struggle over workplace conditions, hours and wages. Do you buy this critique and what evidence does he provide for it?
2) Similar to Cronon, do you think that Steinberg would claim that these industrial changes in New England were inevitable?
3) What kinds of conflicts and problems did the industrialists run into as they tried to gain control over the water? Who were the “winners and losers” as Steinberg calls them?
