That's the market revolution that was a precurser of the industrial revolution. Before the IR, businesses and farms were smaller and the bosses were close to their workers and there wasn't the huge gap in pay that the giant industries and monopolies produced, and only trust busting TR started to reform. There's no mention of a burgeoning middle class in your link, dingbat. That happened 100 years later. Read the "Good Old Days- They Were Terrible". You have the Reagan dementia of the Pub dupe.
Again Franco hater dupe, you clearly have no knowledge of history at all. Let's just say that I'm skeptical that you have an associates, much less a masters, in anything. You sound like a blue collar union worker from the 70's trying to impress people with your frequent malapropisms.
You don't even grasp the terms in use. Gaps in pay, moron? Prior to the market revolution there was no pay. Tenement farmers toiled for sustenance, hoping to scratch out enough not to starve to death. Big government owned everything and granted use to overseers. It was purely and only due to the uniquely American concept of individual liberty that allowed small farms to keep what they produced and specialize. The industrial revolution was the first wide scale use of wages.
Perhaps you could brush up on colonial history. Lots of folks worked for wages and the government never owned everything. Private companies paid for colonizing north America and many colonial immigrants worked for wages. Small businessmen such as gunsmith's, millers and ship builders all hired skilled, semi skilled and unskilled labor for wages.
