Emergence of a market economy idea of the capitalist market: machines and factories, disrupted the way we distribute good, the division of labour was shifted, space-intensive and labour-intensive activity, development of an unemployed class. State provides workers with all the necessities (which is argumented) An attempt to address the needs to the majority, the person giving their labour power did not make enough money to meet their needs, (capitalism pays people minimum that they are willing to work for, can be easily replaced) *socialism as it was introduced is really an economic model and it is political and social.
