What is “capitalism”?

CAPITALISM!!!!!! CAPITALISM- economic system where means of production are PRIVATELY owned What is the opposite?

Wassup B Spa? What are pros and cons of “Walmart”?

INDUSTRIALIZATION IN AMERICA; THE “FACTORS OF PRODUCTION”: LAND (NATURAL RESOURCES)- oil, coal, iron ore (steel) LABOR- immigration, urbanization- cheap labor source ENTREPENEURSHIP- people with the vision, talent, and willingness to take risk (HW) Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt, etc….. “CAPITAL”- (money, building, tools, machinery, etc.) corporation- new type of business to raise more capital Stocks- a share in the business investors can purchase

NATURAL RESOURCES FUEL INDUSTRIALIZATION: OIL- “Black Gold” 1859- steam powered drill can access oil underground Refined for kerosene to light lamps (used to use whale oil) Eventually gasoline is most valuable product (automobiles) 2. STEEL BESSEMER PROCESS- new way to refine iron into steel (1850s) RR’s, barbed wire, farm machinery 1883- Brooklyn Bridge- called a “wonder of the world” Birth of the SKYSCRAPER- cities can now grow “upwards”

AN ERA OF INVENTIONS: THOMAS EDISON- creates world’s first research lab in Menlo Park, NJ 1093 “patents” 1880- light bulb Electricity- in homes by 1890s- electric light, refrigeration… Factories no longer need to be by water Factories no longer dependent on daylight Other significant inventions: Typewriter- 1867 Telegraph- 1837; Telephone- 1876 Creates new jobs for women- clerical office work 1903- airplane…

Transportation: Airbrake Transcontinental RR Refrigerated RR car Electric Streetcar Brooklyn Bridge Time Zones Gas Powered Car Electric Elevator Ford’s Quadricycle First American Car (1898)

Daily Life: Electric Machines Typewriter Light Bulb Photographic Plate AC Electric Power Skyscraper Kodak Camera Zipper Montgomery Ward

Communications: Telephone Phonograph Fountain Pen Motion Picture Projector

IMPORTANCE OF RAILROAD: First “big business” RR- huge customer for steel, coal, iron, lumber, glass (catalyzes other big businesses) Creates a national market Companies can market products to entire nation

Why is COMPETITION essential in a capitalistic society? Why do producers NOT like competition?

THE RISE OF “BIG BUSINESS” IN AMERICA: KEY TERMS: SOCIAL DARWINISM- theory of “survival of the fittest” is applied to human society. Economically, it leads to the policy of laissez- faire __LAISSEZ- FAIRE French for “leave it alone”, essentially. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT REGULATE BUSINESSES OR THE MARKETPLACE BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION: Mergers of business into one larger business VERTICAL INTEGRATION when a company controls suppliers, distributors, transportation etc. HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION- when a companies that make similar products merge MONOPOLY- when one company dominates an industry TRUSTS- like a monopoly; competing companies run by “one board of trustees”

GOVERNMENT AND BIG BUSINESS DURING THE GUILDED AGE According to laissez- faire, the government is “supposed” to stay out of business. In reality, governmental policies favor big business during the Gilded Age: Railroads are SUBSIDIZED (Pacific Railway Act) Tariffs are high Quite a bit of bribery, corruption Immigration laws are very easy Military used to break strikes 1st effort to control trusts: SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST ACT (1890) Ineffective- wording very lose; Supreme Court throws out 7/8 cases, consolidation continues
