As early as 1900, Pyrmont was the Australian centre for distribution of flour, milk, sugar and wool, and was providing Sydney with all its power for lights and trams (Pyrmont village, 2010). Pyrmont became the largest working industrial centre in Sydney. As well as its thriving wool industry, Pyrmont was the home of Sydney’s best sandstone, creating a lucrative business in quarrying.

During this time, rises in the demand of coal-powered steam engines led to a rapid increase of coal mining (Wrigley 54). As the evolution of the market system took place, the small scale techniques that the industry had been using were not supplying a sufficient level of coal output needed to maintain the high demand in the manufacturing and transportation sectors. This deficiency prompted a transition for the coal mining industry that involved dangerous mining techniques and labor

The time period from when the Second Industrial Revolution was beginning, up until President McKinley’s assassination in 1901, is known as the Gilded Age. After the Civil War, many people headed out West to pursue agriculture, and many immigrants moved to urban areas to acquire jobs in industrial factories. It is in this context that farmers and industrial workers had to respond to industrialization. Two significant ways farmers and industrial workers responded to industrialization in the Gilded Age, were creating the Populist Party and the American Federation of Labor (AFL).
In 1920, Rudyard Kipling (Nobel Prize in Literature 1907), distributed The Conundrum of the Workshops. This sonnet about survey culture includes the Devil as "initially, most fear" commentator who reacts to human inventive yields with: "it's pretty, yet is it craftsmanship?", an audit that heaves the producers into perplexity, competition and anguish. What could be more awful, for a craftsman, than to find that what you were making is not workmanship all things considered? Online networking has assumed control over the Devil's part as "most fear" analyst, and throughout the night the twitterverse has been buzzing with reporters communicating their shock at, or celebrating over, the choice of the Nobel Prize Committee to grant the Literature
The ten-year period I would like to focus my final project on is 1960-1970 part of the Cold War era in the United States. The Cold War period always interested me because even though the World War's ended the United States were still in a major social, political conflict with the Axis Powers Germany, Italy and Japan (Doerr, Stoler & Aldous, 2008). The United States focused on the development of major technologies and productions to spread business exports internationally to form multinational corporations (Maximizing U.S. Interests in Science and Technology Relations with Japan, 2017). Due to the emergence and spread of technology and economics globally the 1960s became a time for productivity for manufacturing and production. Some of the major
Even though water power was more effective, businesses transferred over to coal and the steam engine slowly as having a steam engine allowed them to move their businesses away from the river and into the city for a vast amount of cheap workers. It allowed business ' to "be placed in the centre of a population trained in industrious habits" McCullock 1833. This way more people migrated to the cities and worked there because it cost less to pay workers due to their being so many of them there. The idea of the steam engine explains why business ' set up in the city centre and also explains why buildings like the ex hotels I saw when conducting my ethnography, were being knocked down. In order to make space for further business, and help capitalism strive.
1. In “Germinal” Emile Zola portrays the difficulties and hardships of the miners in a way that makes the reader pity them. For the conditions in 19th century mines were unfit and unhealthy for labor workers as well as fatal sometimes.
