Industrial Revolution

First Agricultural Revolution
The first big economic change in history: – from Hunting/Gathering
to Farming– Allowed for
specialization,
cities,
kingdoms,
empires
![Page 3: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Then . . . things didn’t change for a long time
Best estimates for human productivity calculate annual per capita GDP fluctuating
between $400 and $559
for seven
thousand years

The Malthusian Trap
Why didn’t things change?
Population increases exponentially while resources increase linearly
![Page 5: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Malthusian TrapWhat does that mean?
Although humanity often invented better ways of feeding and transporting itself, the population would then increase and use up all of the extra resources, leaving everyone in exactly the same place as before
![Page 6: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Malthusian Trap“Here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get
somewhere else, you must run at least twice as
fast as that.”
-- The Red Queen
(Alice in
Wonderland)

WHEN HUMANITY FINALLY LEARNED TO RUN
TWICE AS FAST:
The Industrial Revolution
![Page 8: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It changed the world
Annual per capita GDP climbed to more than $6,000 by 2000
![Page 9: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It all began . . . in England

Why England?Reason #1: Enclosures
Process of fencing in land that had belonged to everybody (“the commons”) for the use of one wealthy individual
Large, regular enclosure movement fields
![Page 11: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Effects of Enclosure:
1. More efficient use of land and new agricultural techniques fed a larger population
2. Left huge numbers of small farmers with no land, starving and homeless. They moved to the cities, which made a large class of desperate people to work in factories.
![Page 12: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why England?Reason #2: Geography
• Large supplies of coal and iron
• Long, irregular coastline with many rivers and natural harbors provided easy transportation
![Page 13: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why England?
Reason #3: Patents
• Based on notion that ideas are not simply something one discovers, but something one owns (a kind of property - remember John Locke?)
![Page 14: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Purpose - gives people the incentive to invent, because no one can steal their ideas
• Democratizes the act of invention - people prosper by their intelligence, not their birth
![Page 15: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why England?
Reason #4: Colonial Empire
Britain aggressively built colonies
– Provided growing market for British manufactured goods
– Provided raw materials (like cotton for the textile
industry)
![Page 16: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It all began with cloth (textiles)
Britain had a thriving “cottage industry” for centuries before this, in which rural people manufactured goods in the home
But new inventions changed that . . .

Effects of Textile Machines
• Major historical development: the world’s first large factories were created
• Destroyed cottage industry
• Produced cotton goods that were cheaper - now everyone could afford good clothes
![Page 23: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Lack of Power = Poverty
Man behind plow and woman at spinning wheel could employ only horsepower and human muscle in their labor. No matter how hard they worked, they could not produce very much.
![Page 24: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Problem of Energy
If water had remained only source of power, industry would have been cut short
BUT . . . this would change
![Page 25: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Breakthrough: The Steam Engine
• The Industrial Revolution’s most fundamental advance in technology
• For the first time in history, humanity had almost unlimited power at its disposal
![Page 26: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

• Steam power was made possible with coal, to heat the water
• Huge increase in coal production and mines went deeper and deeper
![Page 31: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
MigrationThe Industrial Revolution created mass movements of people, as people moved from the countryside into cities looking for work. This led to huge numbers crammed into tenement neighbor-
hoods.
![Page 32: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Urbanization• New districts of identical rows of houses built
quickly and cheaply to house factory and foundry workers in rapidly growing industrial towns
• Much poor quality housing, densely packed, with little sunlight and few amenities
![Page 33: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Water Pollution• Rivers and canals polluted by sewage and
industrial waste
• Cholera and typhoid killed many poor people who used water from canals and rivers for cleaning and cooking
![Page 36: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Air Pollution• Dense fogs of soot and noxious waste gases
covered towns built around iron and steel works
• Increased pneumonic diseases and smog episodes begin killing residents of large cities like London.
![Page 37: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Peppered Moth
Industrialization produced smoke which killed lichens growing on trees and blackened their bark. Pale-colored moths which had been well camouflaged before when they rested on
tree trunks became very conspicuous and were eaten by birds. Rare dark moths, which had been conspicuous
before, were now well camouflaged in the black background. As birds switched from eating mainly dark moths to mainly pale moths, the most common moth color changed from pale to dark.

Noise Pollution• Disruption for people living around iron works
and cotton mills from noisy steam- or water-powered machines running day and night
• Deafness common among
industrial workers
and inhabitants of industrial towns
![Page 39: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Child Labor
• Before the Industrial Revolution:– Children had always worked, but it was at home
or on farm– Cottage workers did
not want to go to factories
• Long, monotonous hours
• Few breaks
![Page 40: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Child Labor
At first, factories employed pauper children - exploited orphans who had no say and were badly treated
![Page 41: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Child Labor
Families would try to work in mills and mines together
Later, families were split up and overseers would discipline
children
Parents feared to protest
![Page 42: powerpoint.3](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54bb1ba54a795921778b4601/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Child Labor
• Reforms– Factory Act of 1833
• Limited workday for kids 9-13 to 8 hours
• Limited workday for kids 14-18 to 12 hours
• Children under nine enrolled in school
– Child Labor began to decline
