The Industrial Revolution’s Effect on Social Class
The industrial revolution was a profoundly transformative era causing a transition in production and manufacturing processes. Changes in these critical facets of human life ended up affecting social class overwhelmingly. The impacts of industrial revolution on each class depended on the skills that people possessed, control, and adaptation to changes.
