			Industrialization is shown as a time-specific and spatially heterogeneous
			process. The description of industrialization paths uses two concepts
			along a functional/temporal and a spatial dimension: Technology clus-
			ters, i.e., a set of interrelated technological, institutional and social
			innovations, drive particular (historical) periods of industrial output
			and productivity growth. A spatial taxonomy reflects the different
			degrees of development and intensiveness of industrialization among
			core, rim, and periphery.


			In an inductive approach, industrial growth is described through the
			prism of changes in technology clusters and the spatially heterogeneous
			diffusion of industrialization on a global scale. "Industrialization paths"
			are discussed on the basis of the USA, Western Europe, Russia and
			Japan. The quantitative description focuses on macro-level indicators
			of industrial output, and the evolution of the productivity of factor
			inputs labor and energy. Energy intensiveness and carbon emissions
			are used as metric to assess changes in the environmental impacts of
			various industrialization paths, concluding that improvements in the
			efficiency of factor input use are part of the inherent incentive structure
			of industrial evolution. However, historical improvement rates will
			have to be considerably accelerated to lower absolute levels of indus-
			trial emissions.


			Finally, the implications of industrial productivity growth and its dis-
			tribution in the form of rising incomes (consumption) and free time (lei-
			sure) are discussed inter alia from an environmental perspective.
