Industrial Revolution

By J. Collins/ D McDowell/ A. Anders

Industrial Revolution

The IR is when people stopped making products at home and started making goods in factories.

Cottage Industry

On the F

arm

• Farm life difficult, but cyclical • Homes built and maintained by

farmer and family• Intense periods of work during

planting and harvesting seasons with slower work schedule in between

• Daily schedule set by work load, daylight, farmer’s ambition

Agrarian

(Agricultural)

Revolution

• Draw two large rectangles divided into nine squares each. Each one of these symbolizes a field of nine different crops. *In the first rectangle, *In the second, put an

draw crops in each square X in any three of the boxes Draw crops in the remaining squares

Now make a little fence around the entire fields of the rectangle with the Xes.

X X X

• Agricultural Revolution – New farming methods invented

• Lord Townshend in England introduced crop rotation – land could now be used year-round; certain crops revitalized soil

• Enclosure movement had large land owners buying and then fencing public land

Agrarian M

ovement

• Smaller farmers pushed off of land to work as wage laborers for various land owners or to move to the growing cities (urbanization)

• More food produced = population increase

• In 1700 there were about 100 million people in Europe, by 1800 the population had grown to 190 million.

Why did the IR

begin in G

reat Britain?

Rise of science Increasing productivity in agriculture Expanding population Merchant tradition- entrepreneurial spirit capitalist philosophy (Adam Smith!) Geography

Coal and iron deposits Navigable rivers Natural harbors Island location

Global trading, slave labor, gold & silver of the New World- COLONIES (in America, Africa, India)

State-supported economic development Constitutionalism; Locke’s philosophy (property!)

Quest for colonies!-

Britain Industrializes

First

• 1715-1850• Many natural

resources available in Britain, including large amounts of coal and iron

Britain Industrializes

First

• Geographical advantages include a large river system for water power and many natural harbors for easy trade

• A strong, stable government allowed a strong, stable economy to develop which resulted in extra money to invest

Britain Industrializes

First

• Colonial empire provided much needed raw materials and markets

• Spreads to continental Europe, United States of America, and Japan between 1850 and 1914

Slavery

England dominated slave trade 1690-1807 in Atlantic

• Transported 1.7 million slaves to West Indies (Caribbean area) for plantations on their COLONIES

• Abolished first in UK and later in US with Emancipation Proclamation 1863

Urbanization

• Growth largely unplanned leading to numerous sanitary and social problems

• Typhoid and cholera epidemics swept through the cities

• Families lived in tiny, dirty, rat-infested, crime-infested, disease-ridden housing communities

New

Cities-

Urbanization!

• Dramatic changes in work patterns occur in the factories

• Concept of time introduced to work, people arrive at factory at specific time, work for pre-set number of hours – “Time was money”

• Free market- Laissez- Faire

Thom

as Malthus

• Population increases faster than the food supply!

• Malthusian……..• Is this true? When?

“Iron law

of wages”

• David Ricardo • Believed that workers should

only be paid enough to survive• If they make more, they will

only have more children and therefore become poor again or die off from starvation

• Permanent Underclass (like Malthus)

“Iron law

of wages”

• Workers should be satisfied with their wages because they are maintained at a natural level

• Leads to the idea that poverty is caused by character flaws in an individual

• Natural selection of the fittest

• Species develop specialized traits to fit their environment

Social

Dar

wini

sm

Separate notion from the biological argument. Not something Charles Darwin would have likely advocated!

1. Society should allow the weak and less fit to fail and die.

2. Pre-existing prejudices were rationalized by the notion that colonized nations, poor people, or disadvantaged minorities must have deserved their situations because they were “less fit” than those who were better off. (rationalized colonies and eugenics)

Brought by

the IR

• Invention of the steam engine in 1763 by James Watt shifts labor from humans and animals to machines

• Inventions continue to make life, manufacturing, and farming easier and better

• Continuous reinvestment of profits fuel even greater growth

• Inventions in one area often led to inventions in others

• Transportation and communication systems are greatly enhanced

Changes B

rought by the Industrial

Revolution

• Cities begin to dominate the western world

• Creates a new social order with the rise of an influential middle class

• Poor working conditions for lower classes eventually lead to new social and political movements-Getting organized for reforms!

• Need for markets and resources force Europeans to take over foreign lands (imperialism)

Reform

s

• By late 1800’s most European countries granted all men right to vote

• Child labor laws• 1909-8 hour work day for

miners• Public schools set up- kids

required to have basic education

Workers Strike

Labor unions

• John Stuart Mills- Questioned unregulated capitalism– More reforms in legal system and

education

Robert Owen

Rise of Socialism

• Robert Owen set up an utopian system in his factories, creating an ideal working community – workers worked less, children were taken care of while parents worked, productivity and profit increased

Tw

• CAPITALISM

(Adam Smith)

• COMMUNISM

(Marx and Engels)

Marx and E

• Karl Marx and Frederick Engels witness the horrors of industrialization.

• Together they write the Communist Manifesto

• Believed capitalism would fail.

• Took socialism to a new level

• Proletariat will rise up against Bourgeoisie

Karl Marx

Marx and EngelsProletarian cry for justice against the growing bourgeoisie:

“ The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!”

Capitalism CommunismGovernment should not interfere with economy – laissez faire

Everything owned by governmentGovernment closely regulates economy (sets prices, etc.)

View

on people

People become wealthy because they offer something – a product or service, that others wantEveryone has the opportunity to succeed

People should cooperate to obtain success, eliminating competitionEveryone should have an equal share of the available wealth/property

Social Conditions

Capitalism CommunismThrough hard work people can lift themselves out of poverty

Government ownership of the economy will end unemployment, poverty, hunger, and slave-like working conditions

Individual Freedom

Capitalism CommunismPeople are free to choose their own careersFreedom of religionFreedom is more important than security

Government determines job placementReligion considered a burdenSacrifice freedom for security

Future

Capitalism is the only efficient economic system

Capitalism is self-destructiveWorkers will eventually rise up in a violent revolution and take powerThe future of the world is communism
