Industrialization
Industrialization, is the process of converting to a socioeconomic order in which industry is dominant.
How
or why some agrarian societies have evolved into industrial states is
not always fully understood. What is certainly known, though, is that
the changes that took place in Britain during the Industrial Revolution
of the late 18th and 19th centuries provided a prototype for the early
industrializing nations of western Europe and North America. Along with
its technological components (e.g., the mechanization of labour
and the reliance upon inanimate sources of energy), the process of industrialization entailed profound social developments. The freeing of the labourer from feudal and customary obligations created a free market in labour, with a pivotal role for a specific social type, the entrepreneur. Cities drew large numbers of people off the land, massing workers in the new industrial towns and factories.
