Question

which of the following best explains how the rise of capitalism affected the lives of workers?

Answer 1

It turned many independent artisans and farmworkers into wage laborers working in factories and mines: work moved to cities, became more repetitive and tightly supervised, hours grew longer and conditions often unsafe, and workers lost control over the pace and content of their labor. That disruption produced low pay, child labor, and social dislocation early on, but also stimulated labor organizing, strikes, and later legal protections and rising real wages over the long term.
