OBJECTIVE
 Students will identify the factors of production
 Students will identify why the industrial revolution began in great Britain as opposed to anywhere else
ECONOMY
 Economist: studies scarcity
 Economy: act of allocating scarce items
 Scarcity: unlimited wants but limited resources
 Can’t have it all – not possible
FACTORS OF PRODUCTION
 In order to produce goods, all of the factors of production must be present
 Land: natural resources
 Labor: workers
 Capital:
 Financial: start up money
 Physical:Tools to get the job done (hammer, nails)
 Human: knowledge and experience
LAND
What do we notice about the
geography of Great Britain?
Lots of coastline
Lots of rivers
LAND
 In addition to being geographically ideal, GB also had other natural
resources
 Coal and Iron were abundant
LABOR
 Urbanization: population shift from rural to urban areas
 Small farmers were out of work so they moved to the city seeking
employment
 They were ready to do whatever they had to in support of their families
 This also increased the demand for goods and services in urban areas
CAPITAL
 Financial: excess money was brought in by the colonies (remember this is
1750)
 Mercantilism
 Excess money will be invested into start ups of new businesses
 Human: people had experience with business practices, developed
banking system
 Physical: People are going to invent new tools
 Jethro Tull (seed drill)
 Necessity is the mother of all invention
SOOOO….
 Great Britain was in possession of all the factors of production
 The timing was perfect for production to EXPLODE
 Industrial Revolution
AGE OF IRON AND COAL
 Instead of manual labor (bulls, hand plows, etc…) *Hist. Circs*
 Factories were built on waterways (rivers) so they could use
the water to produce steam
 The steam would power the machines
 Iron Ore was used to cast parts for machines
 Coal was used to heat the water to create steam
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
 Textiles = cloth goods
 First major industry
 Reliant on colonies (mercantilism)
 Raw cotton from colonies were produced into clothing items
 New technologies
 As the industry took off, there was a need for more efficient technologies
 New technologies make production cheaper, faster, and better quality
TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY
 Flying shuttle
 Spinning Jenny
 Water Frame
FLYING SHUTTLE
Flying shuttle allowed a single person to weave faster using
much wider fabrics
John Kay
Eventually will be mechanized
All woven fabrics looked the same (uniformity)
SPINNING JENNY
James Hargreaves
Produced yarn using 8-9 spools at once
WATER FRAME
Richard Arkwright
First powered, automatic, continuous textile
machine that enabled the rapid spinning of threads
STEAM ENGINE
James Watt
Used water to generate power efficiently
Will be used in trains, factory machines,
etc…
