Paper Summary:
This paper explores the ways in which the invention of the steam engine revolutionized family life, social welfare, the acquisition of basic goods, transportation, and where people lived. Both the initial negative impact of the steam engine and the eventual positive impact of its advent are discussed.From the Paper:
"Before the invention of the steam engine and the advent of the industrial revolution, families were self-sustaining. They produced the food they ate, the clothes they wore, and the furniture in their homes. Sometimes craftspeople specialized, so one person in a village might be potter while another might be a tinker. Sometimes people sold their hand-made goods at a local market to acquire cash, so they could buy from other craftspeople; in other cases they bartered."More papers on The Invention of the Steam Engine:
