The first nations to industrialze were those who had...?

Question

a. an established middle class

b. an abundance of natural resources. high tax revenue to use as capital

d. a diverse labor force

Answer 1

Why does B contain something right and something wrong?  What does high tax revenue have to do with technological advancement?  If anything, it is an impediment to it.  That's why the US was 'king of the world' during the industrial revolution...  abundant resources, LOW taxes & loose regulations, and the brightest and most ambitious people on the planet.. because they came here to make their dreams come true, because in their home countries, they couldn't.

We can get there again, if we try.

Answer 2

A. an established middle class with a disposable income in a free society. Thats a big reason why it started in the United Kingdom.

Answer 3

A) no the middle class did not appear until after industrialization occurred.

B)  Tax revenues are not used for CAPITAL--

C) how can you have a diverse labor force without industrialization first?

All answers are wrong--

But if you broke down the second--B then you would have something.

You need capital to invest in a building and equipment.

Natural resources were a must---coupled with capital---TAX REVENUES......though HURT industrialization by taking income away from investors

Answer 4

An established middle class; ie a source of entrepreneurs. The nobility (upper class) and the peasants (lower class) did not initiate industrialization. (Needless to say the lower class provided cheap labour for the factories and the nobility collected taxes.)
