read this passage from a historical narrative about the industrial revolution:
during the industrial revolution, many governments
adopted an economic system called capitalism. in this
system, governments allowed businesses to operate as
freely as possible. capitalism led to economic growth in
many countries and a small number of people
become very wealthy. however, the system could be harsh
for poor workers, who often worked long hours in unsafe
conditions just to make enough money to eat. as a result,
some workers turned against capitalism and demanded
that their governments take more control over their
economies.
