Industrial Revolution - 4. Business in the Industrial Revolution

This is a PowerPoint for the Industrial Revolution unit. It is lesson number four.

The Industrial Revolution was a period of great economic upheaval. With the emphasis of production shifting its focus on the worker, the Industrial Revolution saw the exploitation of the proletariat through the new means of business- capitalism. In this lesson, we explore the transition from cottage industry to factory industry, and the ramifications this had for workers. It is important that students understand that the modern workforce is modeled after the standard set in the Industrial Revolution. The students will learn the main features of capitalism and socialism, and can make connections to their everyday world.
