1 Industrial Revolution
Economics of the Industrial Revolution

2 What We Will Learn Today:
Who was Adam Smith, and what is laissez faire? Who was Malthus, and what was his view on population growth? What is Ricardo’s “iron law of wages?” What is socialism, and how does it differ from Marx’s communism? Smith Malthus Marx Ricardo

3 The problems caused by the Industrial Revolution caused many to look for solutions. While some believed the market would eventually fix the problems, others believed there should be a change in government.

4 Laissez-Faire Economics
Adam Smith In his book The Wealth of Nations, British economist Adam Smith promoted “laissez faire” capitalism, which became the leading economic system during the Industrial Revolution. Capitalism – economic system in which the means of production are privately owned and operated for profit. Laissez Faire (hands off) – policy allowing businesses to operate with little or no government interference. Smith

5 Capitalism Private Ownership Profit Motive Free Enterprise
Market Economy Competition

6 Laissez-Faire Economics
Adam Smith Smith argued that the free market forces of supply and demand would produce more goods at lower prices, and encourage capitalists to invest their money in new ideas. Smith claimed that the “invisible hand” of capitalism led individuals who worked for their own good to actually promote the good of the entire community. Adam Smith is known as the father of economics. Smith

7 Laissez-Faire Economics
Thomas Malthus In his 1798 Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus predicted that population growth would outpace food supply. Malthus

8 Laissez-Faire Economics
Thomas Malthus Malthus warned that the poor would suffer from starvation, and the only option was for people to have fewer children. Malthus

9 Laissez-Faire Economics
Thomas Malthus Malthus’ predictions did not come true because food supply grew even faster than population. Malthus

10 Laissez-Faire Economics
David Ricardo British economist David Ricardo agreed with Malthus that the poor were having too many children. Ricardo’s “iron law of wages” stated that population and wages are connected and go through a cycle: When wages are high families have more children When wages are low families have less children Ricardo

11 David Ricardo’s Iron Law of Wages
High Wages  Workers have more Children Shortage of Workers  Higher Wages Surplus of Workers  Lower Wages Lower Wages  Workers have fewer Children

12 Laissez-Faire Economics
David Ricardo Like Malthus, Ricardo believed that laissez faire was the best cure for poverty, and not business regulation or government intervention. Ricardo advised families to be hard workers, thrifty, and have a small family. Ricardo

13 The Birth of Socialism

14 The Birth of Socialism Socialism – system in which the people as a whole rather than private individuals own all property and operate all businesses. Socialists claimed that industrial capitalism had created a large gap between the rich and poor. Socialists cared less about individual ownership rights, and more about the interests of society.

15 The Birth of Socialism Utopian Socialism
Utopians socialists sought to create self-sufficient communities where all property and work would be shared, wealth would be equal, and fighting would end. In Scotland, Robert Owen set up a Utopian factory community when he supplied good housing, education, and fair wages. Owen

16 New Lanark, Scotland

17 Marxist Socialism Karl Marx
German philosopher Karl Marx promoted “scientific socialism,” which he claimed to be more realistic than utopian socialism. In 1848, Marx teamed up with fellow German economist Friedrich Engels and published The Communist Manifesto. Engels Marx

18 Marxist Socialism Communism
Communism – a form of socialism that sees class struggle between employers and employees as inevitable. Marx

19 Marxist Socialism Communism
In The Communist Manifesto Marx argued the following points: History was a class struggle between the bourgeoisie (wealthy capitalists), and the proletariat (working class). In order to make profits, the bourgeoisie exploited the proletariat. Capitalism created prosperity for a few and poverty for many.

20 Marxist Socialism Communism
In The Communist Manifesto Marx argued the following points: The proletariat would eventually revolt and overthrow the capitalist system, creating their own society. The proletariat society would take control of the means of production and establish a classless communist society where wealth and power would be shared. With communism, all the evils of the industrial revolution would end.

21 (workers, the “have-nots,” the oppressed)
Marx’s Industrial Age Social Pyramid Bourgeoisie (capitalists, the “haves,” the oppressors) Proletariat (workers, the “have-nots,” the oppressed)

22 Marxist Socialism Communism
Marx called for an international struggle to bring down capitalism, which he hated. His slogan was “workers of the world unite!” Socialist political parties formed in Western Europe, but by 1900 the standard of living for the working class improved, and communism lost popularity.

23 Marxist Socialism However, in 1917 revolutionaries toppled Czar Nicholas II in Russia and set up the first communist state. Communism By 1900 most people still felt stronger ties to their nationality and county rather than their economic class, and there was no worldwide communist revolution.

24 Lenin leads the Revolution in Russia
