One of the long lasting effects of both the First and Especially the Second Industrial Revolution was the almost complete destruction of artisan based craftsman labor.
Such labor, provided out of small shops that use to dominate the towns of Europe and the US mostly disappeared by 1900, being replaced by food markets and other storefronts that distributed goods rather than manufactured them.
Niche artisan services, such as watchmaking, were able to stay alive, however staple town jobs such as furniture making, weaving, cloth dyeing, etc. were unable to compete with the large mills and factories of Western Europe and eventually disappeared
Challenge: Have such artisan labor not just survive but thrive during the industrial revolution in Europe and the US.
What are long lasting effects?
