Question: Was the Industrial Revolution Good or Bad For Workers!?
in Europe!. Didn't it just allow capitalists to become wealthy and the poor stay at wages only at the level of subsistence!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Good because peasants and lower class will never work their way up!. Working in a factory, you will get paid and make money!.

Edit: Yes, Marx believed in Communism and everyone should be equal!. He believed that all means of productions are below to the works, it is complete opposite of Capitalism!. Workers do have low wages and that's why they form union at that time!. Karl Marx believed that everyone should be getting the same amount of money every day!. Take an example from Cuba as of today!.

However, back to your question!. It is actually good for the peasants, again, they can never work their way up if they stay in the farm!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
