8. Section 4: New Ways of Thinking
Utilitarians for Limited Government
Utilitarianism emerged from the Industrial Revolution. This was the idea that governments should intervene in an economy in order to improve the lives of the working class—or at the very least protect them from harm.
Utilitarianism: Jeremy Bentham
Notes: Listen to the Witness History audio. Then read aloud the main idea for each subheading in this section and show the related visuals.
After listening to the Witness History audio, ask, “According to The Communist Manifesto, how do owners view workers?” (as part of the machinery) “How does this affect workers?” (They are given simple, boring tasks.)
Socialist Thought Emerges
Some sought to end the problems of the Industrial Age by instating socialism. Utopian communities sprang up that tried to live according to a socialist model.

10. Section 4: New Ways of Thinking
Karl Marx Calls for Worker Control
German philosopher Karl Marx came up with the idea of communism as a solution to what he saw as a struggle between workers and business owners. Communism would create a classless society in which all means of production would be owned by everyone equally.
Marxism in the Future
Some Marxist ideas were put into practice in Germany, Russia, and other countries. The practical failures of these ideas quickly became evident, however, and this economic model is now nearly extinct.
