Some Implications of The Industrial Revolution

The term 'industrial revolution' is often applied to such developments as the growth of
specialization and exchange, technological im- provements, the growth of capital, and the growth
of large-scale firms in the course of the 19th. century. Some economists and historians object to
the term 'revolution', pointing out that the changes covered by it began several centuries ago,
gathered speed in the eighteenth century and are still in rapid progress. They prefer to describe it
as an accelerating evolution.

A tremendous increase of productivity has been made possible by a combination of events


that we call the Industrial Revolution. Some of its most important implications will be traced
below.

I. Economic Interdependence

Economic interdependence is an inevitable consequence of specializa- 15 tion and exchange.


The greater the degree of specialization, the greater the dependence of each specializer on others
and their dependence on him. The specializer necessarily depends on others for materials with
which to work, for space and shelter in which to work, for assistance from his fellow workers, and
for supplies of the various goods and ser- 20 vices that he consumes.

Non-wage workers are perhaps as dependent on others as wage- workers are. Professional
people - doctors, lawyers and teachers pend on others in the process of getting a living.

Beberapa Implikasi Revolusi Industri

Istilah 'revolusi industri' sering diterapkan pada perkembangan seperti pertumbuhan


spesialisasi dan pertukaran, peningkatan teknologi, pertumbuhan modal, dan pertumbuhan besar
-perusahaan skala dalam perjalanan abad ke-19. Beberapa ekonom dan sejarawan keberatan
dengan istilah 'revolusi', menunjukkan bahwa perubahan yang dicakupnya dimulai beberapa abad
yang lalu, semakin cepat pada abad kedelapan belas dan masih dalam kemajuan pesat. Mereka
lebih suka menggambarkannya sebagai evolusi yang dipercepat.

Peningkatan produktivitas yang luar biasa dimungkinkan oleh kombinasi berbagai peristiwa
yang kita sebut Revolusi Industri. Beberapa implikasinya yang paling penting akan ditelusuri di
bawah ini.

Interdependensi ekonomi

Saling ketergantungan ekonomi adalah konsekuensi yang tidak terhindarkan dari spesialisasi
dan pertukaran. Semakin besar tingkat spesialisasi, semakin besar ketergantungan masing-masing
spesialisasi pada orang lain dan ketergantungan mereka kepadanya. Spesialis itu tentu tergantung
pada orang lain untuk bahan yang digunakan untuk bekerja, untuk ruang dan tempat berlindung di
mana untuk bekerja, untuk bantuan dari rekan kerjanya, dan untuk persediaan berbagai barang dan
jasa yang dia konsumsi.

Pekerja non-upah mungkin tergantung pada orang lain seperti halnya pekerja upahan. Orang
profesional - dokter, pengacara, dan guru menunggu orang lain dalam proses mencari nafkah.
