INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION NOTES THE NEW RICH: Gilded Age - describes the last part of the 1800s - extremely rich vs extremely poor. Charles Darwin - The Origin of Species; philosophy: natural selection occurs due to: a. lack of food b. genetic changes c. ability to adapt or perish Herbert Spencer - applied Darwinism to people - Social Darwinism Individuals compete for success; those who succeed are wealthy and those who don't, remain poor -- dog-eat-dog world! Gov't can't control the "survival of the fittest" -- only prevent the unfit from stealing from the wealthy.

Horatio Alger author of dime novels; main character was "Ragged Dick" philosophy: gaining wealth was both possible and desirable but with hard work and a bit of luck success would come turning rags to riches.

Supporters of Social Darwinism: 1. J. D. Rockefeller - oil robber baron 2. Russell Conweli - Temple University 3. Andrew Carnegie - steel robber baron 4. J. P. Morgan - financial robber baron 5. Ezra Cornell - Cornell University 6. Leland Stanford - Stanford University Social Darwinism & Gospel of Wealth

Notes: Industrialists INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF THE U.S. 1. Growth of Industrialization----1865 to 1900 Why? Factors in place Railroad industry Distribution System Symbol of growth Government assists industry ---- 1860 to 1880 laissez faire economy Laws to promote industry: Morrill Tariff of 1861 National Banking Act of 1863 Morrill Act of 1862 Land grants to railroads Rise of Industrialists or Entrepreneur Andrew Carnegie----steel John Rockefeller----oil Captains of Industry or Robber Barons Notes: Industrialists

Debs- American Railway Union Great Railroad Strike--1877 Haymarket Riot--1886 Homestead Strike--1892 Pullman Strike--1894 Chart: Rise of ImmigrantsNotes: US Govt regulates

Changes in Daily Life Life in the 1860s Life in the 1900s No indoor electric lights No refrigeration No indoor plumbing Kerosene or wood to heat Wood stoves to cook with Horse and buggy In 1860, most mail from the East Coast took ten days to reach the Midwest and three weeks to get to the West Coast. A letter from Europe to a person on the frontier could take several months to reach its destination. Life in the 1900s US Govt issued 500,000 patents—electricity Refrigerated railroad cars Sewer systems and sanitation Increased productivity made live easier and comfortable. Power stations, electricity for lamps, fans, printing presses, appliances, typewriters, etc. New York to San Francisco to 10 days using railroad. 1.5 million telephones in use all over the country Western Union Telegraph was sending thousands of messages daily throughout the country.

BESSEMER PROCESS New Uses for Steel In 1856 Henry Bessemer devised a way of converting iron into steel on a large scale. His invention involved blowing air through molten iron in a converter, or furnace, in order to burn off the excess carbon. His invention revolutionized the Industrial Age. New Uses for Steel Steel used in railroads, barbed wire, farm machines Changes construction: Brooklyn Bridge; steel-framed skyscrapers

Expansion of Railroads 1869, 30,000 miles of track 1900, 200,000 miles of track Distribution System to the marketplace Symbol of growth

What helped the railroad industry prosper? Westinghouse Air Brakes Bessemer Process Westinghouse Air Brakes Steel Rails Standard Gauge Pullman Cars

Between 1800 to 1900, US Govt. issued 500,000 patents KEY INVENTIONS BETWEEN 1860 TO 1900 Elevator---1852 Bessemer Process---1852 Sewing Machine---1853 Dynamite---1867 Typewriter---1868 Levi Blue Jeans/Basketball---1873 Telephone---1876 Phonograph---1878 Light bulb and cash register---1879 Zipper---1883 Gasoline automobile and skyscraper---1885 New York City---first city to have electricity--1890 Radio---1895 Subway---1897 X-ray---1900 Between 1800 to 1900, US Govt. issued 500,000 patents

With the Bessemer Process and Carnegie steel, Skyscrapers revolutionized the building industry….. Major city skylines would be dotted with this new type of building as the 1900’s begin.

Laissez faire supports our economic system of capitalism An economic belief supported by the U.S. that opposes the government regulating business. In the late 1800’s businesses operated without much government regulation. This is known as laissez-faire economics. Laissez-faire means ‘allow to be’ or the government stays out of a person’s business in French. Laissez faire supports our economic system of capitalism

New Business Culture Laissez Faire --> the ideology of the Industrial Age. Individuals should compete freely in the marketplace. Own their own business and use their skills to better our culture and make profit for themselves. The market was not man-made or invented and no room for government in the market. Government should allow for natural competition for the betterment of our society.

Economic system characterized by private property ownership CAPITALISM Economic system characterized by private property ownership Individuals and companies compete for their own economic gain (Profit) Capitalists determine the prices of goods and services. Production and distribution are privately or corporately owned. Reinvestment of profits Supports laissez faire and the “free enterprise” system

Gave an inventor the right to make and sell an invention. 1790s  276 patents issued. 1990s  1,119,220 patents issued. Gave an inventor the right to make and sell an invention.

Economic system based on cooperation rather than competition SOCIALISM Economic system based on cooperation rather than competition Many Americans opposed capitalism and believed a socialistic economy would better suit the US because some capitalists were corrupt. Believes in government ownership of business and capital (money, natural resources) Government controls production, sets wages, prices and distributes the goods. No profit or competition. Opposite of laissez faire and capitalism

US GOVERNMENT ASSISTS INDUSTRY Govt. assists MORRILL TARIFF ACT, 1862 To protect and encourage American industry, Congress passed this tariff after the South seceded from the Union. NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM, 1863 To stimulate the economy and set up a banking system, Congress passed this act which was a significant step towards a unified, national banking system until replaced by the Federal Reserve in 1913. MORRILL ACT, 1862 To promote education, Congress provided grants of public lands to the states for support of education. “Land-grant colleges” LAND GRANTS TO RAILROADS US Govt. donated land to railroad companies to encourage growth of this mode of transportation. US Govt. donated approx. 160 million acres of land…….

BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS Corporation: form of business consisting of a group of people authorized by law to act as a single person and with the ability to sell shares of stock to raise “capital” Shareholders or stockholders: investors who invest their money into a corporation who each receive a share of ownership in proportion to the amount they invested if the corporation makes a profit---than investor gets a “dividend” or a share of the profit. Limited liability: Important aspect of a corporation is limited liability. Shareholders have the right to participate in the profits, through dividends and/or the appreciation of stock, but are not held liable for the company's debts. “Risk is spread over the shareholders so if the company goes bankrupt, the loss is not so devastating”

PROPRIETORSHIP UNLIMITED LIABILITY FORMATION OWNERSHIP Individual or person decides to operate a business OWNERSHIP Individual CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT By owner or persons delegated by the proprietor NET PROFITS LOSSES Profits to owner Losses absorbed by owner UNLIMITED LIABILITY

PARTNERSHIP FORMATION OWNERSHIP CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT NET PROFITS By agreement between associates (partners) OWNERSHIP Jointly by two or more individuals; or by terms of partnership agreement CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT By partners or persons they delegate NET PROFITS LOSSES Shared according to partnership agreement UNLIMITED LIABILITY

CORPORATION FORMATION OWNERSHIP CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT NET PROFITS Organized by associates and legalized through state charter OWNERSHIP Stockholders, according to number of shares CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT Through Board of Directors, elected by the stockholders (usually one vote per share of stock held) NET PROFITS AND LOSSES Dividends: to stockholders = profits Lose: only the amount invested by stockholders according to number of shares LIMITED LIABILITY

BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS Trusts or Monopoly Companies in related fields combine under the direction of a single board of trustees. Shareholders had no say. Outlawed today.

BIGGER IS BETTER A trust or monopoly controls an entire industry TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES BIGGER IS BETTER A trust or monopoly controls an entire industry make product cheaper lower prices to customer

MONOPOLIES AND TRUSTS

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION Vertical Integration You control all phases of production from the raw material to the finished product Coke fields Iron ore deposits Steel mills purchased by Carnegie Coke fields Iron ore deposits Steel mills Ships Railroads purchased by Carnegie Coke fields Iron ore deposits Steel mills Ships purchased by Carnegie Coke fields Iron ore deposits purchased by Carnegie Coke fields purchased by Carnegie Horizontal Integration Buy out your competition until you have control of a single area of industry MONOPOLY

Modern Day Example of Vertical Integration Ford Motor company What goes in an automobile? Why is it an advantage for a company to own/control all production? Vertical Integration You control all phases of production from the raw material to the finished product

Advantages Vertical Integration You are always in control of supply of the products you need In control of labor cost, land/resources Always in control of the cost Schedule your production of autos because you are in control of all factors Can you give another example of this?

Other Vertical Integrations Boeing Anheiser-Busch: all grown by own producers McDonald’s: own cattle ranches Oil companies AOL Time Warner

Horizontal Integration Examples Standard Oil Carnegie Steel Swift & Company: meat producers United Fruit Company: bananas Dole Pineapple Horizontal Integration Buy out your competition until you have control of a single area of industry

Modern Day Examples of Horizontal Integration Microsoft PG & E Comcast Starbucks De Beers
