Productive Power Comparison of Great Britain and France
The article revisits Charles Dupin’s 19th century method comparing Britain and France by counting human and animal labor forces. It cites France with 31.8 million people and 28.9 million animal workers yielding 47,784,076 equivalent workers, versus Britain with 15 million people and 22.5 million animal workers yielding 34,912,232 equivalent workers.
Industrial powers of Britain and France amid animate and inanimate forces
The article compares Britain's and France's total productive power by animal and human labor, plus water wind and steam. It cites 76 000 French mills with about 10 000 windmills, hydraulic power at a third of windmills, wind navigation power for 3 000 000 men, and steam engines equivalent to 480 000 men. Britain, by steam alone, equals 6 100 000 windlass men, inferring France's commercial and manufacturing power is proportionally related to Britain as shown.
