The Modern Revolution
Quite a package! But how did these changes get
all bundled up together?

For starters, in Big Era Seven human
population was increasing faster than ever before!

But a growing population meant that
human need for resources—for energy—was growing, too.
And humans dealt with
this need by using fossil
fuels. Watch!

19
The Fossil Fuel Revolution
The biological old regime ends when vast new sources
of energy come into use:
CoalElectricity
GasPetroleum
Nuclear
20
By taking energy from
fossil fuels like coal instead of biomass like
wood…
22
and with better and
better steam engines to
harness coal’s energy…
23

People could produce more
efficiently.
24
In Britain coal mines were close to factories and cities.
In China coal mines were far from factories and cities.
How might history have been different if the closest sources of coal available to Britain were, say, in the Carpathian Mountains of southeastern Europe?

Old limits on how much
energy people could use were
gone!
And in Big Era Seven people
tore down other limits
too…
34
Adam Smith argued for ideas like these in his book The Wealth of Nations (1776).
New economic ideas
• People should be able to buy and sell land freely.
• People should be able to buy and sell labor freely.
• People should be able to buy and sell goods freely.
35
Sounds great!
But what did governments need to do to make these ideas work?
New economic ideas
• People should be able to buy and sell land freely.
• People should be able to buy and sell labor freely.
• People should be able to buy and sell goods freely.
36
Improve public health.
Build railroads, ports, and telegraphs.
Standardize weights and measures.

38
In Big Era Seven,
government played a greater
role than ever before in people’s lives.
And while that happened,
people’s ideas about
government changed, too!
39
Tom Paine argued for these ideas in
Common Sense
(1775)
New political ideas:
•People should be free to choose their government.
•Government should protect people’s liberties.
•People should have equal rights.
40
Sounds democratic!
New political ideas
•A nation should be free to choose its government.
•Government should protect people’s liberties.
•People should have equal rights.

After the Modern Revolution, much more food went on the world market…

and it was often shipped to where it got the highest price,

not to where it was needed most.
64
And industrial technology
could be used not only to
create, but to destroy.

And more of the world was colonized than ever before.

People who traveled to learn about one part of
the Modern Revolution, like fossil fuels,….
73
also learned about the democratic part of the
Modern Revolution.
74
And they didn’t keep the ideas to themselves. They
communicated them, because it was all part of the package.
75
And powerful elites who wanted
to modernize in some ways did not
count on people demanding the
democratic part of the package.
