Social Classes Before the IR
Upper Class

Middle Class grows the Most!Education makes it possible to make more $
Skills
No education, No skills, No $
• QUESTION: What new class was growing larger and gaining power? Why? What kinds of professions did they have?
Economic System before the IR
• Mercantilism- Economic system where government controls trade with colonies to accumulate wealth (gold).
• In this system, colonies (and the English citizens that live in them) can ONLY trade with England
• They can ONLY buy British goods (not the cheapest or best goods)
• They can ONLY sell goods to England.
Gold for England !!!!!!!!!!!!
Economic System after the IR
• Capitalism- Economic system based on competition, private property, and the pursuit of profit in a free market economy (without government controls).
• People compete in business to make money without regulation from gov't. Everything is allowed!
• Businesses are always looking for a better way to make products cheaper and sell them for more money.
Laissez-Faire- Hands off, without regulation or oversight.
Philosophers of IndustrializationAdam Smith- Wealth of Nations •Law of self – interest• Law of competition•Law of supply and demand- People will make what people want to buy.
•Opposed to government helping poor workers (Laissez faire Capitalism)
– People should be in charge of their own fate!
– Just give the system a chance and it will sort itself out.

Who gets the job?
A new job opens in a factory and the factory manager goes outside to find a new worker to hire. There are 20 people waiting for a job…
The First person the manager talks to says: “I need $3 a week, because I have a wife and a kid, but I’ll work hard.”The Second person says: “I need $2 a week, because its only me and the wife.”The Third person says, “I’m a bachelor. I only need $1 a week.”
Who does the manager Hire?
A woman walks up and says: “I’ll work for $0.50 a week!”Then a kid walks up and says: “I’ll do the job for $0.40! Please mister, give me a chance!”
Who gets the job now?
Unfortunately, while Capitalism does create winners…someone has to be the loser in the competition Capitalism brings.…And eventually, because of how pure competition works, there are many more “losers” than “winners”.
Soon, the losers, the working poor, have very little to lose indeed!

Social Unrest from the Working Class
Leads To…
The Luddites: 1811-1816
Ned Ludd [a mythical figure supposed to live in Sherwood Forest]
Attacks on the “frames” [power looms].
Please get a Luddites SACPgs 67 A/B
• Please get 1 set of Luddite papers (2 pages) per person and 1 folder per pair.
• In the folder are Blue papers (the documents!) and Yellow papers (the Questions!)
• Today you will discuss the questions but you do not need to write down the answers.
Luddites Preview- Were the Luddites terrorists or freedom fighters?
• Terrorist: someone who uses illegal force and violence against people or property to intimidate a government or the people of that government to further their own political or social objectives (this is the FBI’s definition)
• Freedom Fighter: a person engaged in a resistance movement against what they believe to be an oppressive government or organization to obtain freedom and rights for themselves and others.
• Directions:
• READ the documents in the document set. DISCUSS THE GUIDING QUESTIONS as a pair. DO NOT WRITE DOWN ANSWERS. These will help you find evidence and guide your discussion.
• After reading each document and discussing the questions as a group, decide if the document supports the idea that the Luddites were terrorists or freedom fighters. Record a quotation/piece of evidence from the document on your graphic organizer. You may use multiple quotes from each document!
• Debate:
• I will tell you what side you will be arguing. Be ready to defend that position in our class debate.
• Now we will debate this issue. Make sure your argument defends your assigned position. Think Historically! Use Historical Point of View!
• Consensus:
• After discussing each document and listening to the debate, reach a final consensus with your partner: were the Luddites terrorists or freedom fighters? Be sure to back up your views with evidence from the documents, and to consider the counterargument.
• Record your consensus on the graphic organizer.

• Ideas for fixing an economically Ideas for fixing an economically unequal society:unequal society:
Socialism- A mixed economy where government controls some parts of the economy while private business controls the rest. Government uses control to redistribute some wealth for the public good.
Communism- Economic system based on Marx’s Theory where the economy is centralized. Government controls wealth (resources and production) and redistributes it equally among the people.
Capitalism Socialism Communism
Business Only Business/ Gov’t Gov’t Only
Socialism • Hey Look- Capitalism is Unfair! (and leads to angry mobs!)
• Wanted government to help Lower Class (economically, politically)
• Utopian ideas – good working conditions for workers are good for everyone!
• Socialism: government should help redistribute wealth to give lower class a chance and to support society as a whole by taking money from the very rich to pay for important social programs.
• This means some taxes and some regulation.
Marxism: Radical Socialism (and Communism)
• Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
• The Communist Manifesto
• History is a class struggle – “haves”(bourgeoisie) and “have nots” (proletariat)• Predicted that workers
would lead revolution to overthrow owners
Marx’ View of (Future) history…Put this Timeline on the back of your notes
Factories drive small artisans out of business
Few manufacturers own all the wealth
Large proletariat (industrial workers) revolt: seize factories and produce needed goods
Workers share profits, create economic equality
Workers control government
Cooperative living and education
Classless society = pure communism
Marx believes: Capitalism will eventually end in pure Communism!

So what Really happens in England?
We don’t have any Communist countries (the way Marx saw them) today… No Dictatorship of the Proletariat exists, so what happened?
Responses to the Violence
Workers realized that factory owners would continue to take advantage of workers by:
paying low wages for long hours employing women and children for lesser wages introduced machines which created unskilled, boring work making workers keep up with the speed of machines work conditions that were unsafe, unsanitary, and badly lighted
Individual bargaining was ineffective because bosses
didn’t have to meet the worker’s demands could fire an individual without hurting production
• What advantage is there to keeping workers poor, hungry and tired?
The solution:COLLECTIVE BARGAINING: uniting as a
group to press demands on bosses as one unit. What one worker gets, they all get.
All the workers together could threaten a strike to shut down production.
That would effect the factory owners!
To bargain collectively, workers formed labor unions
Labor Union GoalsMain Goals:
• Higher wages
• Shorter hours
• Safer working conditions
• Compensation for injuries or sickness caused by the work
Other Goals
• Access to education
• Access to political power through the Vote
• What does education and the right to vote get you?
Unions gained strength because:
• size of corporations made workers realize the need to organize
• large mills and factories allowed workers the opportunity to organize
• labor leaders had gained experience
• Strikes (when all the workers in a factory refuse to work) were very effective
• courts began to have a more favorable attitude toward unions
• Because of these strengths, Law courts outlawed unions until 1824!
Government Reforms Abolition of slavery in the colonies in 1832- to
raise the price of wages in Britain New Poor Law [1834] – indoor relief.
* Poor houses. Sadler Commission to look into working
conditions * Factory Act [1833] – child labor: restricted the age and number of hours of work for children in factories * Ten Hours Act of 1847 limited the work day for women and children to 10 hours.
Reform Bill [1832] – broadens thevote for the cities and redistributed seats in Parliament
