INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, The Industrial Revolution is the change experienced…

- - - - Marx called "the accumulation originating ", that is, the growth of capital available for the development of capitalism.
- - - - In this process, the German Martin Luther (1483-1546) had a leading role. He questioned the papacy and corruption in Rome for the practice of selling indulgences, while, as he claimed, salvation depends only on the grace of God and not on any forgiveness of men.
        
        The movement spread quickly. Other reformers stood out, such as the Frenchman John Calvin (1509-1564), the Swiss Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531), and King Henry VIII (1491-1547), who decided to separate the whole Church of England from the obedience of the pope.
        
        This religious phenomenon drastically changed society and deepened the practice of frugality and saving, along with the conviction that economic success was good and even a sign of divine blessing.
- - - - The industrialization was thus becoming generalized. The labor required by the industries was available in the large neighborhoods of the main cities.
        
        The workers were given very long working hours, of 14 or 16 hours, with low salaries. Children and women were employed to pay even less.
