Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the profound changes that reshaped Europe and the world during the late 18th and 19th centuries. Beginning in Britain, this era of rapid industrialization spurred technological advancements, social upheaval, and economic growth that transformed global economies and social structures. Through the introduction of machinery, mechanized labor, and mass production, the Industrial Revolution fundamentally altered work, class dynamics, and urban life, while also igniting debates about workers' rights, capitalism, and the environment. This book examines both the successes and the darker consequences of industrialization, from the rise of industrial capitalism and the exploitation of labor to environmental degradation and the birth of modern political ideologies. It delves into key historical figures, movements, and events, including the contributions of thinkers like Karl Marx, Robert Owen, and John Ruskin, as well as the lasting effects of industrialization on global trade, imperialism, and environmental awareness. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the Industrial Revolution's legacy, shedding light on its continuing influence on contemporary economic, social, and environmental challenges.
