As I continue this fascinating journey through time, where I have witnessed wars, conquests, plagues, a whole series of amazing events, and now, as a result of the Age of Enlightenment, humanity needed to develop, to create a system that would make it easier on a global scale to obtain any type of goods. With the conquest and colonization of the Americas and European expansion, it created a model that spread to Africa and This created new opportunities to improve diets and expand the markets that shape daily life in Europe and it was the backdrop to a phenomenon that would later be called the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION from 1760 to 1820-40. Before this event, many products were exclusively from certain regions, due to several factors. Manual production was slow, making it difficult to obtain industrial quantities for export, and for this reason prices were very high, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to afford it. Additionally, there was no adequate infrastructure to move large volumes of goods. But all this was about to change, with significant technological developments around 1760 in manufacturing, mining, agriculture and transportation. This included building roads and canals, as this will be crucial to the success of what was to come. From spinning and weaving carried out in households for domestic consumption, came the spinning loom developed by Richard Arkwright. Thanks to this, British production of cotton textiles, between 1770 and 1790, increased tenfold in just 20 years. While the price of cotton textiles has decreased by 90%, production has increased to meet demand at affordable prices. Now cotton will come from Brazil, Egypt, the southern United States and all this meant a...... middle of paper ...... and their steam locomotive was a great asset in this new era, transporting large quantities of coal and goods in record time. Europe was no longer in deficit with Asia, due to their competitive prices and strong demand. Trade therefore flourished in Europe and in neo-Europe, financial transactions, from Amsterdam to China, began to be a common affair. The precious things of yesterday were now everyday products and no longer privileged goods only for a few. Consumers benefited from lower prices for clothing and household items like cast iron cookware. The industrial revolution marks a turning point in history, in the daily aspect of life. life, especially in terms of average income. In the words of Robert E. Lukas Jr. "For the first time in history, the standard of living of the masses of ordinary people began to experience sustained growth" .
