transforms itself from a primarily agricultural
(farming) society into one based on the
manufacturing of goods and services.
A feeling that people have of being loyal to
and proud of their country often with the belief
that it is better and more important than other
countries
Nationalism can also lead to the formation of
a separate and independent nation of people
who share the same culture, language, history
etc.(This tore apart some old nations)
Agricultural Revolution; led to an increased
food supply followed by population and higher
demand for manufactured goods.

and military power
By 1830 in Britain, women & children made up 2/3 of the cotton
industry’s work force
Factory act of 1833, set 9 as the minimum age and limited hours
a child could work
As children declined, women would make up 50% of the labor
force by 1870

limited work hours of women & children would lead to a new
pattern of work. Men outside the home and women at low paying
jobs in the home

government services, education, health, and social
services.

people & wanted to replace competition with
cooperation in industry
Blamed industrial capitalism for
horrible working conditions in
factories and that capitalism would
eventually destroy itself
Felt the working class- the
proletariat- would overthrow the
oppressors- the middle class and
form a dictatorship
Believed this revolution would
result in a classless society, his
final phase of pure communism
Major Publication
The Communist Manifesto
Believed in free market economy with no
interference from government. (Laissez Faire)
The invisible hand of supply and demand will
naturally correct the market.
According to Smith’s publication economic
liberty guaranteed economic progress. His
argument rested on his three natural laws of
economics
The law of self-interest—people work for their
own good.
The law of competition—forces people to
make a better product.
The law of supply and demand—enough
goods will be produced at the lowest possible
price to meet demand in a market economy
