Ch 19 Notecards

These really for last year’s book ch 25- After you do the notecards for that, will be this year’s notecards

Industrial Revolution• Who: British, Europeans• What: an age where machine-made goods

increased the output of goods• Where: England, then Europe, then the rest of

the world• When: Mid-1700s• Why: transformed the way people worked-

from home to factories, changed every aspect of life from agricultural to industrial with factories

Crop Rotation• Who: Agricultural Farmers• What: a system of agriculture where every year

the farmer rotated or changed the crop he planted to restore the soil

• Where: England, Europe• When: 1700s• Why: part of the Agricultural Revolution;

improved older agricultural methods which made food supplies increase and living conditions improve

Industrialization

• Who: British & Europeans• What: the process of developing machine

production of goods • Where: England, & Europe• When: 1700s• Why: this led to a shift for all aspects of life-

farm production to factory prod.; rural living to city living; villages to cities; individually made goods to mass produced goods

Factories

• Who: Wealthy owners• What: large buildings with large machines

near rivers for waterpower. • Where: England, Europe• When: Mid-1700s• Why: these factories mass-produced goods for

selling = life of the worker changed = society changed

Section 2: Industrialization

• Industrialization changed everything about life & society…

• Industrial cities grew = Urbanization• Living conditions = decreased– cramped city

living (think Slums)• Working conditions = decreased• Society/Social pyramid = changed!!

Urbanization

• Who: Europeans• What: a period of city building and the

movement of people to cities. • Where: (you can figure it out by now…)• When: 1800-1850• Why: The growth of the factory system = a

shift in where people worked and lived = people moved from the rural areas to the city = urban areas doubled or quadrupled in this time

• Urbanization led to a change in society and who was at the top of the pyramid…

• It created a new….

Middle Class

• Who: (You know this one)• What: an Industrial Age social class made up of

skilled workers, professionals, business people, and wealthy farmers.

• Where: (You know this one too…)• When: 1800-1850• Why: With Industrialization, the social pyramid

changed = factory owners grew wealthier than the old landowners & aristocrats = they were at the top = they had the wealth & power

The OLD pyramid

The NEW pyramid

Section 3: Industrialization Spreads

• Industrialization started in Britain then spread to Europe then spread to USA…

• When it got to the USA people developed “corporations” which were businesses owned by “stock-holders” who shared ownership… so instead of one factory owner owning a factory.. Groups of rich people would own one factory IF they owned “STOCK” which was a share in the ownership..

• This lead to the STOCK MARKET!! People can NOW buy shares in any company they want and have a piece of “ownership” in that corporation..

Section 4: Reforming the Industrial World

• Industrialization created a WIDE gap between the rich & poor

• FACTORY OWNERS wanted gov’t to STAY OUT of their business affairs (don’t want regulations on how to run their factories, etc)

Vs• REFORMERS want gov’t TO interfere so the

conditions of the poor improve!

• These 2 views of how factories should be run led to different economic philosophies (or ideas.)

• The first philosophy-type is the “Factory Owners”

• ……such as…..

Laissez- Faire

• Who: Adam Smith• What: economic policy that let owners of

industry & business set the working conditions without gov’t interference; a free market unregulated by the gov’t.; means “Let do”

• Where: Britain, Europe• When: 1776• Why: the belief was that the economy would

prosper if the gov’t stayed out of trade & economy

• This idea was introduced by…….

Adam Smith• Who: Scottish professor• What: wrote “The Wealth of Nations” that

defended free market, or Laissez- Faire• Where: Scotland• When: 1776• Why: he said economic freedom = economic

progress; he supported ‘Laissez-Faire’ based on the ideas- 1.people work for their own good, 2. competition = better products, 3. Supply & Demand; his ideas led to Capitalism

• His ideas were supported by other economists….

• = more ideas of how the economy should be….

• …..such as…….

Capitalism

• Who: Thomas Malthus & David Ricardo• What: an economic system in which the

factors of production are privately owned & money is invested to make a profit

• Where: Britain, Europe, USA• When: late 1700s• Why: wanted less gov’t interference in

economy, higher profit, & cheap labor; Most of the world is this today- ESP the USA!!

• Now, the other side said “Gov’t should play a part in the Economy to make sure the businesses are being fair”

• These theories are supported by the “Factory Workers”

• …. Such as….

Utilitarianism• Who: Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill• What: idea that people should judge ideas,

institutions, & actions based on their utility, or usefulness.

• Where: England, then Europe• When: late-1700s• Why: this philosophy fought for “the greatest

good for the greatest number of people”; John Stuart Mill applied this to the factories- the worker should have rights and not live a deprived life. = factory reform

• Also, another “for the worker” philosophy is going to become SUPER popular and is still around today…

Socialism• Who: Industrial Reformers• What: a system where the factors of production (aka

the machines & factories) are owned by the public and operate for the welfare of all

• Where: Germany• When: 1800s• Why: this idea grew out of a positive view on human

nature, a belief in progress, and concern for social justice; this idea says the gov’t should plan the economy instead of free-capitalism; they thought gov’t controlling the economy = end of poverty & social equality

• Could you imagine our gov’t controlling the economy??

• Fixed prices… • No small businesses that you can just start up

and make money….

• Hmmm…. • So this idea leads to an EXTREME view, or radical

Socialism…

Karl Marx

• Who: German Journalist• What: created Marxism, an extreme form of

socialism- which explained the cycles of social classes (“Dialectical Materialism”)

• Where: Germany• When: 1818-1883• Why: This social cycle theory’s last stage was

Communism which was a big thing in WWI, WWII, & The Cold War- aka the rest of history!!

• (notice how he’s from GERMANY??? Hint Hint)

So, his theory went like this:

• The lower class “Proletariat” (as he called them) would always revolt against the upper class

• UNTIL • A classless society developed (“Communism”) • (look at the cycle on the last slide of the ppt)

• All the lower class ppl obv like this idea, right? A Classless society! = WHOA!! AWESOME!!! HECK YEA- GIMME THAT!!!.........

• Well……. Great IDEA…. BUT…. • Throughout the rest of history, we will learn it

won’t ever work… • BUT we had to learn that through WWI, WWII,

and the COLD WAR…

• So, Stay tuned!

Dialectical MaterialismBourgeoisie (upper class)

• #1: Kings & Nobles vs. • = New phase… • #2: Landowners

vs. • = New Phase… • #3: Factory OWNERS vs. • = New Phase… • Communism!

– Factory workers are in charge, own the means of production = Classless society

Proletariat (lower class) • Peasants = Revolt & become

new Bourgeoisie! • Peasants = Revolt & become

the new Bourgeoisie! • Factory Workers = Revolt &

become the new bourgeoisie!

This year’s book’s Notecards:

Anesthetic

source to the IR( Industrial Rev); opened the door to operating machines & powering locomotives & steamships

smelt

• Who: Darby family• What: a type of iron that is separate from it’s

ore• Where: England• When: 1709• Why: this was a new method of producing iron = less $$ &

Eli Whitney

• Who: American inventor• What: invented a machine called the cotton gin that

separated the seeds from the raw cotton at a fast rateWhere: America
