Im doing review but I don't remember this.. Read the excerpt below from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It gives their view on workers in the Industrial Revolution. Discuss how Marx feels a worker might regard his or her job. What made the job this way for the worker?
444 TOPIC 7 The Industrial Revolution
“Owing to the extensive use of machinery and to division of labor, the work of the proletarians has lost all individual character, and consequently, all charm for the workman. He becomes [a limb] of the machine, and it is only the most simple, most monotonous, and most easily acquired knack that is required of him. Hence, the cost
of production of a workman is restricted entirely to the means of [survival] that he requires for his maintenance. . . . . .”
—Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto
