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.…
