Document Summary
England produced more than 60% of the world"s goods at one point. Place in the world is determined by industrial capability. English society was also affected by industrialization and the working class in society had just been created. A completely different society with different ideas, assumptions and value was created. Improved wages and transportation (for both supply chain movement and leisure) led to the factory system. Everything was predicated on the movement of people and their prosperity. Fertility rates grew exponentially and cities boomed in large degrees. Younger children meant that they could be put to work at 5 years old and made to work. Prosperity for industrialization was not spread equally; general rise in prosperity allowed people to plan and store goods and money. Introduction of the factory system required people to move to where the work was move to cities. Large urban centres were created to bring people together for the production of goods.
