Industrialization brought about equality in the society. As the laborers gained knowledge they were more productive. This resulted to the employers raising their wages. These have brought about equality between the employers and employees as the both get great rewards. This has reduced inequality in the society as this has benefited those people who were disadvantage due to poverty. Industrialization has also brought about use of machinery. This has lead to employment of high skilled people leaving out the unskilled ones. This has resulted to increasing a gap between the wealthy and poor. This will in return affect the economy as the country economy will strain to support the large number of the unskilled. Use of machinery is on the other hand useful as it create permanent employment to people who are skilled. These two changes are significant as they are affecting the country’s economy._x000D_

Capitalism is where businesses are privately owned to give profits. The owners provide the capital to start the business and they employ workers and pay their wages. Industrialization is involved in production of goods that business owners buy to sell and make profit. Industrialization also makes machines which are use by the capitalists. With this capitalism gave the meaning for more industrialization._x000D_
