During the period of industrialization, the economy shifted from agricultural to industrial. How did this change affect the social order? |
Answers should point to the fact that under the old social order, landowners (the aristocracy) held the highest rank because they controlled the source of food production and the means of survival. The only other social distinction of significance encompassed the peasants who worked the land. As the western world changed from an agricultural economy to an industrial one, the focus switched from land to the manufacturing of material goods as the source of wealth. Those who controlled production became the new elite, and a much more subtle and complex class system emerged based on the types of services people performed in the new industrial society. |
