The Industrial Revolution was a pivotal period in human history. It transformed the entire world as it reshaped social and political structures in ways that hadn’t been seen since the invention of agriculture.

I this somehow tied to your course about "The Industrial Revolution" or is this actually a clip from the course?

Great question, Marcelo! The clips in this video are from the following series on Wondrium: An Economic History of the World since 1400, presented by Donald J.

The reason it took 2 million years until 1830 for the human population to reach 1 billion people. Today we add 1 billion every 12 years. Not sure that's a good thing.

[@avgjoe-cz7cb]

The world can and will only support 11 to 12 billion people. It will not be able to support more. The population curve will lower until it evens out at 8 to nine billion.Then, and Forever more.

London was a far cry away from being remotely close to the largest city on earth; the first city Columbus was made aware of had a population of 150,000+, circa 1492, in comparison, London, at this time had a pop. Of only 30,000.

Britain from 1800 to 1900. 20,000 Waterwheels decreased in number. Windmills decreased in number. Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!! For every SINGLE Waterwheel in 1800 we now had 500 Steam Engines in 1900 !!! And you didn't need a flowing river of water for each one either, so they could be sited anywhere! This WAS the Industrial Revolution. It was a Power Revolution. A 500 times increase in Power Capacity for the whole country, in just one human lifetime. And it was all due to only one Invention, James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine. Take away James Watt's Steam Power and you don't get an Industrial Revolution! Bye the way, Newcomen's Pistons weren't pushed by Steam, they were pushed by Atmospheric Pressure. Watt's Pistons were pushed by Steam Pressure.

I’ve wondered how/why Stalin following the communist manifesto, that proposed to be about equality, lead to greater inequality?
