The provided text, "Industrial Revolution: Socio-Economic Ripple Effects," offers a comprehensive overview of the Industrial Revolution, analyzing its origins in Great Britain through agricultural, economic, and political preconditions, including high wages and cheap energy. It details the technological advancements across two waves of industrialization, from steam and textiles to steel and electricity, and compares its global spread in countries like Germany, the United States, and Japan. Furthermore, the source examines the profound societal transformations, such as the rise of the factory system, new class structures (bourgeoisie and proletariat), and changes within the family unit. Finally, it addresses the social conflicts and reforms that emerged due to harsh working conditions, the rise of labor movements, and the enduring legacies of imperialism and environmental degradation, including the roots of climate change.
