As people began having industry, some things such as clothes became easier to produce and therefor cheaper. However, the factories required that there be many many workers to keep the machines running all the time. Since so few people could afford to hire that many workers and pay them well, this led to incredibly low wages and ultimately the deveopement of the so-called "urban poor". Child laborers were common during the industrial revolution and the poor lived in horrible conditions in large cities. Read basically anything by Charles Dickens or a biography of him and you'll get the idea. Out of these conditions came the rise of the two most influential types of economic policy to date: Karl Marx and Friederich Engels saw the workers and they ended up writing The Communist Manifesto and Adam Smith saw the same and decided that the best way to help people was to let the free-market economy run its course. This led to the developement of what he calles laissez-faire capitalism.
