The old economic system in England couldn't cope with the surplus population. The surplus people were mosdy very bad people—beggars and robbers and thieves and prostitutes. Thev' were supported by various institutions, the poor law-s,' and the charity of the communities. Some were impressed into the army and naw for service abroad. There \vTie also superfluous people in agriculture. The existing system of guilds and other monopolies in the pnxressing industries made the expansion of industry impossible. In those pre -capitalist ages, there wî a sharp division between the classes of society who could afford new shoes and new clothes, and those who could not. The processing industries produced by and large for the upper classes. Those who could not afford new clothes wx)re hand-me-downs. There u*as then a xrry considerable trade m secondhand cloches — i trade which disappeared almost completely when modern industry began to produce ako for the lower classe^. If capitalism had not proxided the meaiu of sustenance for these "surplus" people. the>' ux>uid ha^r died from starvaoon.

INDIVIDUALISM AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION #> some ingenious individuals, almost without any savings and capital, began to organize surving paupers for production, not in factories but outside the factories, and not for the upper classes only. These newly organized producers began to make simple goods precisely for the great masses. This was the great change that took place; this was the Industrial Revolution. And this Industrial Revolution made more food and other goods available so that the population rose. Nobody saw less of what really was going on than Karl Marx. By the eve of the Second World War, the population had increased so much that there were 60 nnllion En^îshmen. You can't compare the United States with England. The United States began almost as a country of modern capitaUsm. But we may *.iy by and large that out of eight people living today in the countries «)f Western civilization, seven are alive only because of the Industrial Revolution. Are you personally sure that you are the one out of right who would have lived even in the absence of the Industrial Revolution? If you are not sure, stop and consider the consequences of the Industrial Revolution. The interpretation given by Marx to the Industrial Revolution is ..pphed also to the interpretation of the "superstructure." Marx said the • material productive forces," the tools and machmes, produce the -production relations." the social structure, property rights, and so forth, which produce the "superstructure," the philosophy, art, and rehgion^ Ihe "superstructure." said Marx, depends on the class situation of the individuals, i.e.. whether he is a poet, painter, and so on. Marx interpreted everything that happened in the spiritual life of the nation fa>m this point of view Arthur Schopenhauer [1788-1860] was called a philosopher of the owners of common stock and bonds. Fnedrich Nietzsche 11844-19(M)1 was called the philosopher of big business. For every change m ideology, for every change in music, art, novel writing^ play writing, the Marxians had an immediate interpretation. Every new book .'as explained by the "superstructure" of that P--^^^^^",^;^^^ book was assigned an adjective-"bourgeois" or proletarian. The ^n^îe were considered an undifferentiated ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 23
