Abstract

Our starting point of this historical overview is industrialisation. Industrialisation is not a process that only began in the nineteenth century. Rather, it is a continuing process of complex development that took place over several centuries and has been characterised by various advances in technology (e.g. letterpress printing). Nevertheless, the so-called industrial revolution in the nineteenth century appears to be a fundamental milestone in the development of BCL. The invention of steam engines, locomotives and weaving machines led to a complete reorientation of traditional manufacturing methods, which ultimately enabled the mass production of industrial goods (coal and steel). This economic reorientation left previous social structures affected, resulting in an increase of social tensions at the time and the impoverishment of the working class and its politicisation.
