HIS109Y1 Study Guide - Final Guide: Improved Sanitation, Pseudoscience, Soviet Union
Document Summary
Economy stopped relying on wood and relied on coal and stuff for e. g. -switch from substincence to profit based farming. Machines replace human effort = productivity and wages go up. Factory system + high population = low wages. Small farmers expelled by agricultural revolution and forced to go work in city. Surplus food = lots of babies = lots of cheap labour. City workers for first time didn"t have familial connections to jobs (note. Many rural farmers continued to live on substinence (they weren"t really part of industrialized society)] Industrialization improved communication = rural ppl learn about opprotuntiires in cites and govt can interfere in peasant life through taxation and conscription. Farmers like the fictional captain swing had to compete with agricultural capitlaists and many farmers revolted. City was filled with pollution, disease, crime, alcoholism, unemployment, etc . Paternalistic landlord tenant relationship over, now its based on money.
