The right answer is C. Adam Smith.

Adam Smith was impressed by the new free market economy of his time. This impression was the incident that caused him to think about the principles that made the new economy so successful. For the first time, he connects the idea of economic productivity with the miraculous incentive created by self-interest. He considered the division of labor a crucial factor in the great productivity of the new economic order. This division of labor made human beings all more dependent on each other. Human beings produced very efficiently what they specialized in, but they needed to find other human beings with whom to exchange what they had in abundance with what they lacked. Self-interest pushed human beings to be productive as they were the beneficiaries of their efficiency. On the consumption side, people could count on the self-interest of the producers to offer the products they wanted.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

I would try to reason with the people, cut back on the lavish lifestyle and put that money towards the common people. Obviously like and monarch I would want to stay in my position of power, but I would try to learn to use my power and wealth for good rather than live a life of luxury while the people of my nation suffer. The French revolution was in a way a good thing to happen for what was going on, but it very well could have been avoided if the monarch had just listened.

Monarchs shouldn't  give huge amount of power, and if they are it needs to still be regulated on what they can and cannot do.

Digiron [165]

Answer: The price of cotton cloth declined more than 50% from 1700 to 1800.

Explanation:

As a result of the Industrial Revolution, goods became cheaper because factories took over the production of goods that people had normally done in their homes. The efficiency of these factories ensured that more goods could be produced which therefore reduced the price as manufactured goods were now more widespread.

This is why the price of cotton declined by more than 50% from the 1700s which was before the Industrial Revolution to the 1800s which was after the Industrial Revolution.
