Culture
Although England's ruler's were wealthy aristocrats and absolutists, the cultural ways of England's inhabitants were based of an agricultural lifestyle. As disciplined quick learners, the English studied the ways of the dutch and learned how to make a Dutch drainage system, and learned the Dutch way of farming. With this inspiration came a breed of new innovators in farming bringing forth the agricultural revolution. The English, now having farming be a way of their life and culture, learned how to produce larger crops creating larger incomes, and began using equipment with farming rather that doing everything by hand. They began using horses for plowing their fields quicker and used selective breeding to raise faster horses as well. The culture change in England's masses during this time period was truly based off of agriculture, and through this way of life brought great thinkers who learned to perfect the way they lived it.
