Maine Public
A worker at the Nautel Inc. factory in Bangor wires a RF transmitter in 2015.

We speak with Joshua Freeman, the author of "Behemoth — A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World." Freeman describes how significant the role of factories have been in shaping our society. We’ll also hear about the role of factories in Maine’s history.
