The term ‘Industrial Revolution’ is widely credited to have been first used by French economist and socialist, Jérôme-Adolphe Blanqui.
Blanqui reportedly used the term in 1837. While Arnold Toynbee later popularized the term through his lectures in the late 19th century, giving it academic prominence, Blanqui is often cited as the first to coin it.
