Water Frame
Richard Arkwright - 1768
Held several hundred spindles and required water power to operate

MILLS
The Water Frame could not be operated from home.
Mills, housing thousands dozens of water frames, were built near rivers.

Water PowerWater power is finite – only so many water frames could be built, and only by major rivers.
Goods still produced on a small scale in the countryside.

The British had access to coal, which provided massive amounts of energy in comparison to water, but it was still finite.

University of Glasgow
Scottish universities emphasized science and the mechanical arts.
Oxford and Cambridge emphasized theology and the humanities.

1705 First experimental steam engine invented
1769 James Watt (U. of Glasgow) made the existing steam engine (which was being used at Scottish universities for experiments) more efficient.
1770s Steam engine becomes a major producer of power.

CitiesThe development of the steam engine allowed people to build factories anywhere.
Many factories popped up in cities, such as Manchester and Liverpool.

1825 – Liverpool to Manchester Railway
1830 – The Rocket clocked a record 16 MPH.
Transportation of goods was still a problem until railroads were developed.

RailroadsGoods can now be produced and transported in mass quantities.

The Malthusian Dilemma
Thomas Malthus, Essay on the Principle of Population (1798)
Malthus
Food supply growth is arithmetic, but population growth is geometric.

Population Growth
D. Ricardo, Iron Law of Wages
Higher wages will only result in population growth. Therefore, workers should only be paid subsistence wages.

“Dismal Science”
Malthus and Ricardo cause others, such as Thomas Carlyle, to refer to economics as the “dismal science.”
Their theories were correct in the short run, but wrong in the long run.

Production Possibilities Curve
A good explanation of the PPC can be found here.
New technology can make production (including food) more efficient.
