industrialise
Significado: To develop industries on a wide scale in a country or region, transforming an economy from primarily agricultural to manufacturing-based. Also, to organise a process on an industrial or mass-production model.
Industrialise is fundamental vocabulary in economic history and development studies. Britain's position as the first nation to industrialise makes the term particularly resonant in British academic and political writing. In contemporary usage, it can carry negative connotations when applied to processes that should perhaps remain small-scale or artisanal — 'industrialised farming' or 'industrialised food production' often implies environmental or ethical criticism.
