Key Concept 5.1. “Industrialization and Global Capitalism.”
1. How did Industrialization fundamentally change how goods were produced?
One important aspect that changed the way goods were produced involves the location of the production of goods. People were moving away from the idea of cottage industry production (in-home production) and worked in factories because of the development of water-powered factories and mills. People were now working for bosses instead of their families and were going away from home.
Industrialization also changed the way goods were produced through the development of machinery such as steam engines and the internal combustion engine, which made it possible to use new resources (coal and oil) for energy. The “fossil fuels” revolution increased the amount of available energy which made the development of factory systems possible. Factories concentrated labor in a single location and led to an increase of specialization. Industrial production methods spread from Northwestern Europe to the United States, Russia, Japan, and other parts of Europe. The “second industrial revolution” led to the creation of new methods to be used in the production process
