Abstract: The text is a reflection on the Industrial Revolution, its essence, chronology and its relation to other theoretical concepts (such as industrialization, proto-industrialization, modernization, centre and periphery, economic underdevelopment). It traces the discussions and polemics between Czech and Slovak economic historians (Purš/ Špiesz), and very briefly also the differences from Hungarian historiography, as well as the conflicts with exiled or politically marginalised economic historians in Czechoslovakia (Paulinyi, Myška, Klíma). It was these latter historians who were much more open to Western European theoretical discourse and even tried to enter it and succeeded. As regards the plethora of bearers of new ideas, the paper devotes more attention to cliometricians and the different perceptions of their role in Central Europe. It concludes with an assessment of the current state of Central European narratives in the area of modern economic history and the extent of their theoretical generalization.
Keywords: Industrial Revolution, industrialization, economic underdevelopment, central Europe, cliometrics
