Industrialization Attitudes, Practices, and Governmental Efforts to Enable Industry to Thrive

Laissez-faire Philosophy “Let it be” Economic doctrine outlined by Adam Smith in his work, The Wealth of Nations that was popular during the industrial age. Opposed government regulation or interference in commerce – What is regulation?

Social Darwinism Philosophy that applied Darwin’s theory of evolution to social conditions.

Even today, the railroads and the towns they founded continue to shape the geographical and economic landscape of the American West. Railroad Clip
