Baumard's thesis that the English Industrial Revolution can be explained by Life History Theory's predictions for psychological development is a progression of much literature in economic and social history. However, the theory suffers from its reliance on increasingly fragile data indicators for "wealth" and its focus on "innovation" as new research begins to explore sectoral dynamics in long run growth.
鲍马德的论点认为，生命史理论对心理发展的预测可以解释英国工业革命，这是经济和社会历史文献的一个进展。然而，该理论依赖于“财富”日益脆弱的数据指标，以及关注“创新”，因为新的研究开始探索长期增长中的部门动态，因此受到了限制。
