• (par. 1) The Industrial Revolution
Substitutes the competition for the medieval regulation which had previously controlled the production and distribution of wealth. Those facts
led to growth of two systems of thought:
1) Economic science 2) Socialism
a) Adam Smith 1776
b) Malthus 1798
c) Ricardo
d) John Stuart Mill 1848
• (par. 2-3) Facts of Industrial Revolution.
1) growth of population
2) relative and positive decline in the agriculture population
• (par. 4) Decrease in rural population.
causes: 1) destruction of the common field system of coltivation
2) the enclosure of common and waste lands
3) consolidation of small farm into large
• (par. 5) Agricultural advance.
cause — more scientific approach:
e.g.
The breed of cottle
Rotation of crops
Invention of the steam-plough
Sostitution of large for small farms
• (par. 6-7) Growth of industry.
causes;
1) mechanical inventions in textile industry
e.g.
Spinning-jenny 1770
Water-frame 1771
Cromptom’s mule 1779
Self-acting mule 1792
most important:
steam engine
Power loom
2) mechanical revolution in iron industry
e.g.
Smelting by pit-coal
Steam engine to blast furnaces
3) improved means of communication
e.g.
Water way
Turn pike road
Railroad
results: 1) over production and depression
2) substitution of factory system for domestic system.
• (par. 8) Revolution in distribution of wealth:
rise in rents caused by
1)enclosoure sistem
2)rental of land
3)consolidation of farms
4) high price of corn
social changes in country life:
• (par. 9) Social changes in manufacturing world: new class of great capitalist employers
consequences:
1) relation between masters and men disappeared
2) cash nexus was substituted for the human tie
3) class conflict.
• (par. 10) Misery of working people often caused by:
1)bad condition of working in farms
2)sudden fluctuation of trade
3)high price of bread before repeal of the corn-laws
Conclusion:
This process was characterized by a wealth without human welfare.
