Review1) Agricultural Revolution (1500-1700):
Enlightenment help farmers share ideas (farm journals) lead to: better soil care, machines, selective breeding, and 1800s (food explosion): chemical fertilizers and powered machines.
a) Enclosure: Machines produce more with less ppl, but cost more, rich famers buy out poor, create large farms
b) Population Boom: Extra food encourages population to grow
c) Unemployed: More births + poor farmers with no land draw them to the cities (where new factories have jobs).
Review2) Why was England (UK) 1st: a) Financial capital (money): UK had
money to invest from trade (Factories were costly)
b) Entrepreneurism (someone start biz): Unlike Europe, UK culture supported “get ahead” biz culture no matter blood line (biz had power in H. of Commons)
c) Stable Hands Off Gov: Limited monarchy was stable (no invasions) and did not interfere with biz operations
d) Geography: UK had many harbors (transport), iron (machines), rivers (water power), and coal (steam power)
Review3) Immediate Impact of the Ind. Rev: a) Creative Destruction: New innovations
destroying old jobs (esp. craftsman)b) New Class System (NOT nobles BUT): Business Class vs. Working Classc) City Growth: Dirty cities sprout around
factories (Tenements: dense housing)d) Time: Instead of nature or self, time is
controlled by jobs, factories, machinese) Labor Hardships: Factory jobs were
boring, dangerous, and drew kids+ women (women working will = power)
f) Cheaper Goods: Ppl could buy goods once only rich could afford, therefore increasing demand for goods.
6) Utopian Socialism (mild): Biz will share control of resources to create equitable society
Robert Owen’s New Harmony (1825)
8) Socialism (medium): Gov take control of SOME resources from the upper class, to create equitable society
9) Communism (hot): New gov eliminate the upperclass, all resources controlled by gov for the ppl,eventually when ppl ready, no gov, ppl freely share

top, humans are better off with rich in power, justifying: rich ppl + rich countries like UK.
This will eventually lead to eugenics movement.3) Horatio Alger: Media promoted cultural belief if
poor work hard, they can be rich (rags 2 riches)
