I think that in general the thing that the greatest impact to the working class was the politics and ideology. The reason for this is because politicians set the policy for the workers. They can make conditions for the people and the working class better by raising the minimum wage, although that might not be a good thing. It forces the Chief Executive Managers and Managers had to give a larger amount of money away, and that takes freedom away, and sets more regulations. The political people could make the conditions worse by lowering the wages, but that would give more freedom to the Chief Executive Managers and Managers. The machines and such would not change anything but the amount of work done, politicians and ideology were always there
