Detailed explanation-1: -The emergence of capitalism was vitally important to the start of industrialization and the Industrial Revolution. Capitalism caused the Industrial Revolution because industrialization required significant work and investment from individuals and not necessarily the government.
Detailed explanation-2: -A greater number and variety of goods became available to more people.
Detailed explanation-3: -The industrial revolution developed in conjunction with the capitalist economies. Under capitalism, business owners (capitalists) began to organize labor centrally into factories and introduced a division of labor to increase output and profitability.
Detailed explanation-4: -Output greatly increased, and a result was an unprecedented rise in population and in the rate of population growth. The textile industry was the first to use modern production methods, and textiles became the dominant industry in terms of employment, value of output, and capital invested.
Detailed explanation-5: -One reason industrialization had such a big effect was that it was tied to the economic system known as capitalism. We even call the system that emerged in the long nineteenth century “industrial capitalism".
