| | Industrial Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Marx asserts that the relationship between the two classes is fundamentally parasitic, insofar as the proletariat are always undercompensated for the true value of their labour by the bourgeoisie (according to the labour theory of value), which allows the bourgeoisie to grow absurdly wealthy through nothing more than the wholesale exploitation of the proletarians' labour. | | | During that time, an economy based on manual labour was replaced by one dominated by industry and the manufacture of machinery. | | | While members of these sects were excluded from certain circles of the government, they were considered fellow Protestants, to a limited extent, by many in the middle class, such as traditional financiers or other businessmen. |

| | There are other assets that helped make England the "first industrial nation." Unlike France, England had an effective central bank and well-developed credit market. | | | In other words, England, then the Continent and the United States, witnessed a shift from a traditional, pre-modern, agrarian society to that of an industrial economy based on capitalist methods, principles and practices. | | | The English government allowed the domestic economy to function with few restrictions and encouraged both technological change and a free market. |

| | Planning the Software Industrial Revolution |
| | But as industrialization drove materials costs down and demand exceeded what the gunsmiths could produce, they began to experience pressure to replace the cottage-industry gunsmith's process-centered approach with a product-centered approach; high-precision interchangeable parts to address the consumer's demand for less costly, easily repairable products. | | | The same inexorable pressure is happening today as the cost of hardware plummets and demand for software exceeds our ability to supply it. | | | It made sense to expend cheap labor as long as steel was imported at great cost from Europe. |

| | Side by side with the revolution which the intervening century has effected in the methods and organisation of production, there has taken place a change no less radical in men's economic principles, and in the attitude of the State to individual enterprise. | | | Already there were complaints of the competition of men who pushed themselves into the market to take advantage of high prices; already we hear of fluctuations of trade and irregularity of employment. | | | But the maintenance of Protection cannot be entirely set down to the merchants. |

| | THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION |
| | During certain periods in history, innovations in technology have grown at such a rapid pace that they have produced what have become known as industrial revolutions. | | | The term INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION originally referred to the developments that transformed Great Britain, between 1750 and 1830, from a largely rural population making a living almost entirely from agriculture to a town-centered society engaged increasingly in factory manufacture. | | | Other European nations underwent the same process soon thereafter, followed by others during the 19th century, and still others (such as Russia and Japan) in the the first half of the 20th century. |
