8 Metals, Woolens, & Canals

9 Early Canals Britain’s Earliest Transportation Infrastructure

10 Mine & Forge [1840-1880] ù More powerful than water is coal. ù More powerful than wood is iron. ù Innovations make steel feasible.  “Puddling” [1820] – “pig iron.”  “Hot blast” [1829] – cheaper, purer steel.  Bessemer process [1856] – strong, flexible steel.

60 Laissez-Faire Economics Adam Smith- The Wealth of NationsAdam Smith- The Wealth of Nations Government should not interfere in the economy Free market= unregulated exchange of goods and services Produce more goods and lower prices benefiting everyone

61 Thomas Malthus × Population growth will outpace the food supply. × War, disease, or famine could control population. × The poor should have less children. Don’t provide charity or vaccines! × Food supply will then keep up with population.

62 David Ricardo × “Iron Law of Wages.” × wages naturally tend to fall to the minimum level necessary for subsistence × When wages are high, workers have more children. × More children create a large labor surplus that depresses wages. × Government should not help the poor- let them help themselves through hard work and thrift

63 The Utilitarians: Jeremy Bentham & John Stuart Mill × The goal of society is the greatest good for the greatest number. × There is a role to play for government intervention to provide some social safety net.

64 Jeremy Bentham

65 The Socialists: Utopians & Marxists × People as a society would operate and own the means of production, not individuals. × Their goal was a society that benefited everyone, not just a rich, well-connected few. × Tried to build perfect communities [utopias].

66 Owen ’ s Utopia Robert Owen- social reformerRobert Owen- social reformer Cotton Mill Owner- could have good working conditions and still turn a profitCotton Mill Owner- could have good working conditions and still turn a profit –Cut hours –Built homes –Started schools –Company store

67 Karl Marx- Communism The Proletariat (workers) could not continue to work in the horrible conditionsThe Proletariat (workers) could not continue to work in the horrible conditions Predicted: workers of the world would unite and overthrow the bourgeoisie (owners)Predicted: workers of the world would unite and overthrow the bourgeoisie (owners) Replace government with a dictatorship of the proletariatReplace government with a dictatorship of the proletariat –All the workers would own the means of production –Work to their interest and ability

69 Government Response k Abolition of slavery in the colonies in 1832 [to raise wages in Britain]. k Sadler Commission to look into working conditions  Factory Act [1833] – child labor. k New Poor Law [1834] –cut the cost of helping the poor.  Poor houses. k Reform Bill [1832] – broadens the vote for the cities.
