The developments described—increased job opportunities in cities, mechanization in agriculture, and decreased consumer goods prices—primarily resulted from: a. industrialization.
- Industrialization is the process by which an economy is transformed from primarily agricultural to one based on the manufacturing of goods. Individual manual labor is often replaced by mechanized mass production, and craftsmen are replaced by assembly lines.
