people workied down the pit and in the factories because they had no other choice. same with slum housing, deadly food and no sanitation.
it was an exploitation of the lower classes and was actively supported as government policy at the time as it has seen as good for the economy and so good for the people.
total wealth of a country is not important. it is how that wealth is distruted. look at the poorest in this world. 3 billion surviving on a dollar a day. we are a very rich world. but that richness is contained to us and lets the others starve.
there is a big difference from equality and conformiy. we can be different but equal.
