In my opinion, it was the middle class who was responsible for the wealth of the industrial revolution. First of all, the middle class was mainly created from the industrial revolution, which means that they formed when some people started to rise above other people in relation to money. As there began to be rich entrepreneurs, factory owners, merchants, managers, bank workers, and people who generally had higher wages, more and more inequality began to form. These people were able to buy and produce products in which the poorer people could not. Additionally, many of the people who became rich were inventors and philosophers, who helped them gain money. This then lead them to rise to the middle class. Many of the people in the middle class and upper class began to further industrialize society and display new machinery to help increase the amount of mass production, as well as having to pay wages to less people. The middle class did seem to be the most important for the industrial revolution.

-inventors created the machines which made mass production
-middle class worked hard to get high wages- built the large companies that existed
-middle class gave jobs to the working class
-middle class were the people that made the enclosure movement happen- causing people to have to move into the city and become urbanized
-display of new machinery encouraged mass production
-middle class increased demand for goods, improving and developing the economy
-middle class supported education- basis now

-MC created inventions + machines which WC used
-the entrepreneurs invested in products and jobs
-contributed to economy- increased demand for luxury goods
-supported education, healthcare, sanitation (helped in the long run)
-MC inventors created the machines for mass production
-MC enclousure movement- people had to urbanize
-WC would die without money from factory

    The Industrial revolution(1780's) created new technology, bringing wealth and prosperity to the country. However, it also took jobs away from artisans and other skilled workers, leaving them unemployed and resentful. The rapid expansion of the Industrial revolution (1780's) also saw many changes occur in the growth of middle class awareness. With the increase in their wealth and education the middle classes felt that they were poorly represented in parliament as they believed that their status in society should have given them more rights. Previously the affairs of parliament had been the priority of the land owners and aristocracy. They took advantage of the pre-dated and corrupt electoral system to maintain their dominance in politics. Through the use of 'rotten boroughs' and other 'under hand' tactics they ensured that the control of the country remained with them. However, with the advent of the industrial revolution middle class society began to question this previously accepted political structure. They believed that they should have a greater role to play in deciding the political future of the country.…

    The two most significant social consequences of the First Industrial Revolution were the emergence of the Bourgeoisie and the rise of factories. As a result of new developments in machinery and the formation of factories, the division of the labor force drastically changed. No longer were people born into their crafts; however, they were able to choose factory work as their profession, and wealthy land owners were no longer able to count on the possession of large tracts of land as a form of wealth. The land owners either transitioned into becoming factory owners, or they faced bankruptcy due to lack of production which resulted from people born on their land leaving when they came of age to seek better paying positions in factories. The specialized craftsman were being forced out of existence by factories which could not only produce better goods, but they were able to, in some cases, triple the production of products previously produced by the specialized craftsman. Many people were choosing to become machine operators because the work was easier in the sense that they were able to work in all day long instead on only daylight to dawn, and this increased production led to the formation of the Bourgeoisie. The Bourgeoisie was the newly created middle class that was all but non-existent before the First Industrial Revolution. These positions came into existence due to the increased production of products that needed to be sold to the public. The Bourgeoisie was primarily shop owners, and their ability to market products to the public resulted in their dramatic increase in wealth and status within their local communities. These shop owners basically became the intermediary between the factory owners and the local populace, and their importance resulted in a new power struggle with the Factory and land owners. The Bourgeoisie caused the explosion of Capitalism in Europe and the rest of the world. The shop owners were able to rise above…

    Because of their heightened taxation and lack of government representation, the middle class for the most part was uneducated. That is why when the middle class began to learn how to read, they became aware of enlightenment thinkers and philosophies. They began to question, to think, causing revelations that would alter their history forever. In The French Revolution, historian Albert Mathiez states that, “The revolution came from them – the middle class. . . . They were just beginning to learn to read.” (Doc.…

    Yes, the Industrial Revolution was the driving force to the immense amount of progress made in the last few centuries, but it all came with a cost. Realizing how much the working class had suffered, the pessimistic view offers a more compelling narrative. During the Industrial Revolution, there was an immense growth in population. People were leaving their homes on the farm and were flocking to cities. The rise in population contributed to the terrible living conditions, the spread of disease, and the devaluation of lives.…

    Thus, an important change was the increase in population. The migration of Europeans to America, contributed to a growth in population to as well. As the population grew, so did the middle class. This resulted in the emergence of a growing and more powerful middle class. The middle class now stood between nobles and peasants, and bridged the divide between the wealthy and the poor. This created a fragmented political structure which in turn led to the start of tenant farmers.…

    The shift of population created two new classes, the capitalist and the working classes. The capitalists were the owners of the industries, the managers of mills and of workshops, who collected great wealth, due to the high demand of a growing population and to the higher prices that could be charged. The working class however were paid a fraction of the amount they should have been compared to that of which the factory owners made. They were just a tool in the factories to carry out the profits. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor kept on growing. England grew very wealthy on the financial credits of industrialization. With the increase of the factories and general industrialisation of the country, Britain saw an increase in the number of middle-class. They were educated people who either worked for themselves or because of their…

    At the time the cities were organized in rings, The outer rings was where the wealthy people lived, the middle ring is where the middle class people lived, and the inner ring was where the poor lived. In the inner ring also known as the poor, people lived in what's called slums. In slums people struggled to survive, the streets were jammed with people, horses, push carts and garbage. There houses were known as Tenements, Tenements where usually six to seven stories high and divided into small apartments. The tenements were in very poor living conditions, they had no windows, heat, or indoor bathrooms, and they had to fit 10 people per room. Since the slums and tenements where in such poor conditions disease and sickness occurred rapidly. But despite the poor conditions the population in the slums grew rapidly, people could move in to take advantage of the low rent and cheap labor. In the middle ring of the center lived the middle class people. In the middle class cities they had doctors, lawyers, business managers, skilled machinists, and office workers.

    While the Industrial Revolution certainly did provide many jobs to scores of people, and the Market Revolution that would result began to produce the middle-class, the sad reality is that the vast majority of the jobs created by the Industrial Revolution were low-wage positions that barely allowed workers to subsist. Many workers found themselves living in squalor as they came home to filth-ridden tenements. Indeed, among the select group of people to financially prosper from the Industrial Revolution (outside of the consumer, who clearly benefitted from the Industrial Revolution's many technological and manufacturing advances which helped to bring prices down and availability up on many goods) were the investors and…

    One of the biggest social changes seen throughout the Industrial Revolution, happened within the class system. “No one disputes that the landed aristocracy and the new middle class (industrial entrepreneurs, merchants and professionals) benefited as owners, invertors and consumers. The debate is over the living standard of the wage-dependent and laboring population” (Legacy, 250). This quote outlines that the nobility, or the upper class, as well as the middle class, grossly prospered from the Industrial Revolution. The upper class maintained their superior status through owning factories and investing in promising manufacturers. In the film, David’s aunt Betsey Trotwood would be considered among the upper class. Betsey no longer works, and enjoys a lavish lifestyle full of opportunity due to her wealth. During the Revolution, the biggest change seen in the class system was with the emerging middle class. Because the Industrial Revolution provided so much economic opportunity, the middle class was able to take advantage of it and become more prosperous and powerful. Like the upper class, they became factory and storeowners, merchants and investors. David’s mother Clara and his stepfather Edward Murdstone would fit into the middle class. Edward was a middle class man who prospered from the Revolution, when he became the owner of a shoe polish factory. Lastly, there was the lower class population. Some argue…
