Power was held by a minority (the elite or bourgeoisie) who
had access to capital and could use their money and power to
generate more wealth.
The majority of the population (the mass or proletariat) had
only their labor (strength and time) to help them make a
living.
Industrialization had meant that the elite were the only
ones who had access to the means of production.
36. Without the ability to produce for
themselves, the mass were dependent
on the elite for survival.
To maximize profits, the elite needed
to get as much labor from the mass for
as little cost as possible.
The elite needed the mass to accept
their position as powerless workers.
