52

Why was Britain the starting point for the Industrial Revolution?

The Working Class and the New Middle Class

The Working Class and the New Middle Class

WORKING CLASS• Farm families felt lost

when they moved to the cities but, in time, they developed their own sense of community.

• Women were encouraged to become “ladies.”

• People valued hard work and the determination to “get ahead.”

• Many believed the poor were responsible for their own misery.

124

127

c) David Ricardo(1) Principles of Political Economy and

Taxation (1817)(2) believed that a permanent underclass

would always be poor(3) if there are many workers &

abundant resources, then labor & resources are cheap.

(4) If there are few workers & scarce resources, then they are expensive

128

Laissez-Faire EconomicsLaissez-Faire Economics

The “iron law of wages” said that when wages were high, families had more children.

More children meant a greater labor supply, which led to lower wages and higher unemployment.

Population would outpace the food supply.

As long as the population kept increasing, the poor would suffer.

People should have fewer children.

A free market would produce more goods at lower prices, making them affordable to everyone.

A growing economy would encourage capitalists to reinvest profits in new ventures.

DAVID RICARDO

THOMAS MALTHUS

ADAM SMITH

The physiocrats of the Enlightenment argued that government should not interfere in the free operation of the economy. In the early 1800s, middle-class business leaders embraced this laissez faire, or “hands-off” approach.

b) policies that would lead to a more equal division of profits

132

c) called for the government to do away with great differences in wealth

d) Actions are right if they promote happiness & wrong if they cause pain

133

Utilitarianism and SocialismUtilitarianism and Socialism

Robert Owen set up a model community in Scotland and put Utopian ideas into practice.

UTILITARIANISMThe idea that the goal of society should be “the greatest happiness for the greatest number” of its citizens.

Jeremy Bentham supported individual freedom, but saw the need for government involvement under certain circumstances.

John Stuart Mill wanted the government to step in to improve the hard lives of the working class.

SOCIALISM

The people as a whole, rather than private individuals, own and operate the means of production.

The Utopians wanted to build self-sufficient communities in which all work was shared and all property owned in common.
