I need a detailed description of the propaganda techniques used by
governments in countries as they experience/d the industrial
revolution. A professor from Harvard once explained this to me and I
was blown away. I am looking for the specific agenda used to create a
'working class' with the 'employee mentality' used by government
agencies and public education programs.

Whenever the industrial revolution hit (or hits with less advanced
countries) there is an immediate change from an 'entrepreuner' society
to a 'working class' society. I need to know when this change
(probably in Britain I think) first was established and the rules used
to instill such a dramatic change in mentality.

A solid answer will have the explanation and 'inventors' of this
massive paradigm shift and the model they use to make this happen. I
also need very well documented sources for this info, preferably
Harvard research centers. I also need links to credible sites for
verification. Answer must also cover WHY this change was needed and
who promoted and installed this belief and systems as well as a brief
explanation of the industrial revolution's causes and effects.

I need this question answered completely by Saturday 11-19-05.

Thanks!

When an Industrial Revolution hits, a large part of the population is
pulled off the land into industrial centres eg: factories and mines.

Depopulation of the agricultural workforce has very little effect as
'industrialization' makes farming and transport far more efficient.

I'm not sure where the 'entrepreneur' bit comes in, the yokels from
the farms were certainly not entrepreneurs and the people running the
factories and mines are certainly not the people sucked off the land.

It is pretty obvious that people pulled off the land need to live
somewhere, so you get employers building barracks and low quality
housing, not through altruism, but because they are necessary - and
one can charge for them.

Real industrialization is not so much a migration from the land to
towns, as a migration from the land to new industrial centres that
then become towns.

I can only suppose that your Harvard professor was pointing out the
difference between town dwellers (pre-industrialization which would
have been merchant, small scale manufacturing and administration) and
the new 'town dwellers' in the new towns - who are factory or mine
fodder.

To some extent the old towns and the new towns overlap, especially
over time, so that looking at it over a long period one could say that
industrialization moves the town population from bourgois to 'working
class', although what is really happening is that industrial centres
are becoming new towns, and old towns are expanding to encompass new
industrial areas.

Looking at what is going on in China is a good example.
