David Ricardo (Adam Duvall)

The industrial revolution was a huge turning point for Europe because life was becoming easier for so many but was it really benefiting everyone?  Many believe that this was the way for the poor to create a better and easier life but it makes the working class live beyond their means.  The children work, but in a way a family who has a large amount of children are making it harder on themselves.  Wages that are too low to support a family is an often complaint but what is the accomplishment when the businesses are breaking even?  To be honest the only way to improve upon the situation of the poor is through hard work and reducing the size of their families.  Working in the factories with a steady income far beats working from sun up to sun down on a farm that isn't always guaranteed for success. The technology boom is great and all, but the working class is asking too much as far as wages and lifestyle goes which makes for an unhappy society.  The complaint that jobs aren't as easy to come by after a period of time because is unreasonable because the machines are only making more efficient work which leads to less clientele.  Businesses who are aiming to be successful in this change of technology can't worry about the wage or workers situation because the revolution is set for great accomplishments, while along the way not everyone can be pleased.
