Background:
The economic theory of Capitalism helped produce a society where the business owners (entrepreneurs or bourgeoisie) got very rich while taking advantage of the poor working class. There were many examples of worker (proletariat) abuse in the early part of the Industrial Revolution: child labor, long hours, low pay and unsafe working conditions.
Karl Marx, with Frederick Engels, created a new economic theory called Communism. It called for the violent overthrow (revolution) of the business owners (Bourgeoisie) by the working class (Proletariat). Poverty would be eliminated by sharing all of the profits equally among all the members of society.
Directions:
Your task this period is to create a Microsoft Publisher file that organizes quotes and images into two categories: Capitalist and Communist. Each step of the process is outlined in the four steps below. You need to explain why you placed at least two images and two quotes in each column.
