Industrialization is the process where a society transforms from pre-industrial to industrial through technological and social changes. This process involves questioning nature and embracing rationalism. Western Europe underwent a major industrialization period called the Industrial Revolution in the 18th-19th centuries. Socialism advocates public or common ownership over the means of production and allocation of resources through coordinated planning. There are differing views on how much control the state should have over capital and the economy. Poverty is defined as living without basic human needs like water, healthcare, education, clothing and shelter. There are two degrees of poverty: absolute, which is a complete lack of resources, and relative, which is not having most but some resources.
