----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- In 1991, I wrote a book on the classical conceptualisation of technical change (Smith, Babbage, Marx, Mill, Ricardian socialists...). It might be of some help for your student: Corsi, M. (1991) Division of Labour, Technical Change and Economic Growth, Avebury, Aldershot. He could also look at von Tunzelmann, N. (1995), Technology and Industrial Progress: the Foundations of Economic Growth, Edward Elgar, Aldershot.
