TOPIC 6 THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
THE ORIGINAL ACCUMULATION
The entry into Europe of large quantities of precious metals from America and the benefits of the slave trade and trade in the world system, produced in the northern countries what Marx called "the accumulation that originates", that is, the growth of capital available for the development of capitalism.
THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
The Industrial Revolution is the change experienced in the
production conditions due to the introduction of machinery,
It was initially moved to Steam, which replaced manpower.
The Industrial Revolution is comparable to the Neolithic agricultural revolution, due to the depth of the social, economic and cultural changes of humanity.
PROTESTANT REFORMATION
The change produced by the Protestant Reformation separated the Catholic Church from hundreds of thousands of Christians, especially in central and northern Western Europe, who established particular churches without obedience to the Pope.
IRON, STEAM, AND MACHINES
The mechanization of the textile industries, the development of iron processing, and the introduction of the steam engine were three pillars of the Industrial Revolution.
Spinning Jenny, the eight-spool spinning machine
The first step was the flying shuttle, patented that year by the British inventor John Kay, which significantly increased the speed of the weaving.
Invented around 1764 by the Englishman James Hargreaves, it drastically reduced the amount of labor required by giving a single worker the ability to produce yarn on eight reels in
one moment
THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAPITALISM
This growth was made possible by the original accumulation of capital and the reinvestment of profits by private entrepreneurs, who expanded their facilities to generate more growth. The workers were given very long working hours, 14 or 16 hours, with low wages. Children and women were hired to pay even less.
