Question

what was the role of economics in driving political changes resulting from the neolithic and industrial revolution

Answer 1

Answer:

Economic transformation changes the balance of power in a society and this leads to changes in politics and structure.

Explanation:

Neolithic Revolution: the shift to agriculture meant the beginning of cities and larger populations. The small clans with a more or less simple social organization started to give way to more complex societies structured around the crop and the agricultural cycle. Trade and the specialization of work were also factors that altered the social structure. The first notions of property appeared and with them a sharper division of people.

Industrial revolution: the emergence of Capitalists and Merchants challenged the political order of the time. The land was no longer the main attribute of wealth, and titles and honors were less important that factories and workers. Yet, in many nations, industrialist did not have the same political status as noblemen and landlords. The economy changed that.
