Notes on European Industrial and Agricultural Revolutions

 1600's had subsistance  farming, which is farming that of what your family only needs until next year.

Middle to end of 1700's is where the encloser movement happens, fencing all the common or shared ground off.  People that had smaller families had their farms taken away and given to larger farm owners, had to become tenant farmers. Those that couldn't be tenant farmers were forced to move to cites. Since farms are now bigger, farmers are growing more out of their crops and start to look for efficiency.

 Gentleman named Jefthroy Toll concerned about the amount of seed by hand seeding, which is just throwing the seed out there invented the seed drill which made it more efficient to plant seeds.
 Go into crop rotation, which is were they rotated the crops between different land that you plant them in. Go from a wooden plows to metal plow. Created a replacable plow, where all you had to do was replace the blades.

People went into cities to find work. Great Britian is now the leader of the Industrial Revolution in Europe. Had a lot of resources, like coal and iron ore; also had rivers that provided food, energy, transportation; some disadvantages were could getting  clogged up, flooding, droughting.

Textile Industry, most made clothing by hand until mechaninazation, now made clothing with machines that can do more than 100,000  times speed. Factory system comes into play.
Steam engine is finally made, that power factories, boats and trains. Communications becomes quicker.
Factors of production = land, natural resources, labor
