I believe that Europe's Industrial Revolution positively impacted all of its citizens. People spoke out and their ideas were beginning to truly be listened to and taken into consideration. By doing so, they have helped increase the population and wealth of Europe. I am a great example of one of those people. The French word, "Laissez-faire," implies, "hands-off," or, "let it be." I am the main proponent of the approach against government interference called laissez-faire economics. Laissez-faire economics are what free the exchange of goods and services from government regulation. Government regulation, like taxes, interfere with the production of wealth. The word laissez-faire is telling the government to keep their hands off the operation of the economy. I believe that free market economies are the most productive and helpful to their societies. They help everyone, not just the rich. This would make goods more affordable for everyone by producing them at lower prices. The Industrial Revolution of Europe most definitely impacted all of its citizens in a positive way. Laissez-faire is just one positive example of many that are coming from the Industrial Revolution.
I disagree, the industrial revolution was a negative impact on society. Not only did it have the farmers move out of the land, they had to go find jobs in the city and work there their entire life in tenements. The government made it so they had no money left over from working, all of their money was to pay for their apartment. It's unfair for everybody who isn't a noble because they have no say. They have to do what the government tells them to do. And the farmers were forced out of their homes. The industrial revolution was not a positive impact at all.
ReplyDeleteWhile you sit merely observing the work rates of the lower class individuals, yet why don't you stop and question the betterment of our work. I finish work blood stained; you finish work with financial gain; yet you have the pride to state that the industrial revolution positively benefited everyone. Us coal miners do not take it out of disrespect that the upper class interprets our work as productive, but rather that they believe we enjoy doing this. We work with a strenuous effort at the risk of violence because we must, not because we want to; not because we believe the fact that we help the revolution is worth it.
