Document Summary
United states, northern france, parts of germany = early 1800s. 1st ir: transportation and technique are biggest in canada. Breaks bond of human movement & information movement. Business: prices, demand, supply, etc. (helpful for producers looking to export) Cut the transmission of information from two days to ten minutes. All production is no longer local, cut of transporting goods have been greatly decreased. Shops must speed up to meet competition. Need a bigger shop to keep up with larger orders. Bring in more workers, higher more apprentices. Can only compete if they produce more. Shop becomes too small, need to move somewhere bigger. Go to the merchant"s store, stores begin to specialize. Production takes up more of the store. Fate of mastercraftsman - disappear as a class, become skilled workers or sometimes partners with the merchants. Journeyman - permanently stay journeyman, no longer have the opportunity to become.
