Unit 13, Reading #1

You have now read the first reading and created an outline. Use those notes and text to answer the following questions:

1. Look at the new products of the Second Industrial Revolution. How was the Second IR more about SUPPLY rather than DEMAND?

2. What were the new markets for the Second Industrial Revolution goods?

3. How was there a “new” domestic market in Britain and Germany during the Second IR? (Think about real wages and what now could happen at home)

4. Think about Proudhon and Marx: they both believed that the government and banks were in cahoots (working together to benefit the bourgeoisie) with one another. How did the development of cartels in Germany prove this?

5. Look at the document on 645. What is mass consumerism?

6. How did the development of heavy industries and large corporations alter the economic and social patterns in Western Europe?

7. What were the two different “European Economic Zones”? How did this polarize the continent?

8. How did the Second Industrial Revolution complete the global economic transformation that began with the Age of Discovery?

9. How were women and the women’s movement impacted by the Second Industrial Revolution?

10. How did mass politics impact the Marxist Movement? (SPD’s, Bernstein, etc.)

11. How did trade unionism evolve?

12. How did Michael Bakunin differ from traditional anarchists?
