Bruce Charlton's Miscellany: The Great Misinterpretation. That crucial, wrong existential choice by the British circa 1800, at the advent of the industrial revolution

The Leftists said that the industrial revolution had created mass poverty by making the poor poorer. But the reality was almost the opposite that the industrial revolution 'created' poverty by making the poor richer, by keeping them and their children alive, rather than dead. In fact, in stark biological terms, the industrial revolution benefited the poor and it harmed the middle class and rich.
