The government and the private sector worked together to produce 100,000 tons of iron every year (Ebrey et al., 2006, p. 158, and Wagner, 2001), which reached domestic markets by various means, including canals (Embree, 1997, p. 339). The Song government was the world's first to issue printed paper money.…”

Long‐term vision depends on history, and on history alone. Scholarship in technology, manufacturing, and operations management is incomplete without a knowledge of history. In chronicling the history of technology, knowledge, and manufacturing, we have traced the remarkable continuity in the evolution of humans from hominins to homo sapiens, in the migration of homo sapiens from Africa to the furthest reaches of the world, and in the rise of civilizations and industrialization driven by agriculture surplus. Technology, knowledge, and manufacturing did not and do not exist in isolation and many disciplines have addressed them in the literature. Here, we concern ourselves with human history until 1760, roughly when the Industrial Revolution began. Our companion paper, Singhal and Singhal (2022; Technology and manufacturing‐and‐service operations 1760–1945. Production and Operations Management, this issue), explores the history of technology and manufacturing‐and‐service operations since the Industrial Revolution.

Este texto tiene como misión explicar por qué la Historia ha ido dejando de tener en las tres últimas décadas la presencia pública y el poder persuasivo que tuvo durante el siglo XIX y buena parte del siglo XX. Se propone en las conclusiones que la Historia debe mostrar relatos plurales que ayuden a generar una mejor conexión intercultural en el mundo global en el que vivimos y a superar los relatos nacionalistas excluyentes.

We have four goals in this study. First, we chronicle China's history of technology and manufacturing before the Industrial Revolution. This history of monumental developments is scattered in dozen of books and hundreds of articles, but it is not available in a concise form. Although, this history is relevant to all disciplines in social sciences, science, and technology, it is most relevant to the discipline this journal represents. Second, we analyze the role of exports in improving quality of goods and improving manufacturing. Before the Industrial Revolution, China was the world leader in inventions and the world's largest manufacturer. Despite its strengths, it failed to become a major exporter. Exports could have helped it to unleash a quality evolution and to expand its economy further. Third, we describe the role of international relations and wars in economic development and economic decay. During the Industrial Revolution, China's manufacturing output decreased, and its economy took a big hit because of military conquests by Britain and the resulting dynamics of international relations. We also point out that China missed the opportunity to become a naval power before the Industrial Revolution, which contributed to its fate during the Industrial Revolution. Fourth, we briefly describe the dramatic changes in international relations after World War II, and China's emergence once gain as the world's largest manufacturer. We point out that exports have been a major driver of China's phenomenal economic growth. We also speculate on China's current options which may lead to a promising future for China and the world.
