After the Civil War, the United States economy shifted to be a much more industrialized one. This industrialization provided benefits such has more goods that could be bought at cheaper prices and machinery that can be produced in greater quantities. Despite all the benefits, industrialization in the United States had several consequences such as the development of trust (monopolies), low wages, and environmental issues. Industrialization brought many benefits to the United States. One of the benefits was specialization, this allowed workers to specialize in one task instead of taking multiple tasks at the same time.…
Karl Marx, a philosopher, economist was again the ideas of Industrialization. One of Marx argument is the increases in wealth gap between the rich and the poor. While the owner of factory run businesses and make money, the workers are still providing labor in the businesses. One is getting richer, other is still stay poor.

Behavioral Science came about during the Industrial Revolution (1760 – 1840) when products were no longer being single handily produced by people. Instead the Industrial Revolution brought about a change were goods would start to be mass produced using machines. This in turn started up businesses who would produce theses goods and who would employ people to operate the machinery. This is one of the first examples of people coming together to work in the same premises.

Increasing the labor expense to produce goods and perform services increases the entire cost of those products. Businesses are forced to pass those increased costs along to the consumer. Again, it’s simple economics, “the higher wages are, the higher costs of production are. The higher costs of production are, the higher prices are” (Reisman, 2015).…

Skilled and unskilled workers received little to no pay. Women were viewed as temporary because they’d stop working after marriage. Therefore, men and children were more reliable.…
The Conflicting Views of Adam Smith and Karl Marx on the Division of Labor and the Role of Money in Exchange In their works, Adam Smith and Karl Marx prove to have differing opinions on money and the division of labor. Although they understand money as a representation of value and as a medium of exchange, they arrive at different conclusions about the role of money in social life. Smith sees the division of labor as a constructive system and a means of furthering exchange, leading to the use of money. Marx, on the other hand, finds labor to turn human beings into alienated workers, and the division of labor to spread and increase this concept.…
In Emile Durkheim’s book The Division of Labor in Society, there is a passage, on page 312, in which he writes about the division of labor, solidarity, and spontaneity. I will break down what these three terms means to him and what he was trying to convey to his audience, at the time. Durkheim believed that solidarity is what made a healthy, organic society. An organic society, to him, was one where there was still inequality, but more specifically, natural inequality. He saw there being two kinds of inequalities.…

These all fall under the rules of social contract on how they must be carried out. It is the base of how our society and government function.…
Adam Smith theorized about the birth of the division of labor. His observation and explanation made it much more possible to identify how societies naturally move towards capitalism and the implications it has on societies. Jean Jacques Rousseau also theorized at great length about the progression of mankind and the motivation that led to the creation of government. Rousseau and Smith shared similar beliefs about how societies were formed and how the division of labor came to be. However, they disagreed about the division of labor’s societal impacts, the creation and purpose of government, and its role in inequality.…
