In the report of research results I wrote two essays: one on the development of textile printing in Europe and its relationship with the Eastern textiles, the other on the broader framework of British economic growth and its decline. In the first essay emphasis are stressed on the importance of product innovations as well as process innovations; the former were the characteristics of the consumer society. In the second essay, I emphasized an important contribution of consumption in the economic development of the west. It is hoped that the first essay will be expanded to a longer article for some learned journal.

在研究成果报告中，我写了两篇论文：一篇是关于欧洲纺织印花的发展及其与东方纺织品的关系，另一篇是关于英国经济增长和衰退的更广泛的框架。在第一篇文章中，强调了产品创新和工艺创新的重要性，前者是消费社会的特征。在第二篇文章中，我强调了消费在西部经济发展中的重要贡献。希望将第一篇文章扩展成一些学术期刊的更长的文章。
