This led to increased production and efficiency, lower prices, more goods, improved wages, and migration from rural areas to urban areas.

Those who owned the means of production became disproportionately rich, resulting in wider income inequality. Workers were forced leave their families and migrate to urban areas in search of jobs. They worked long hours and were underpaid.
