Utilitarians for Limited Government

Utilitarianism emerged from the Industrial Revolution. This was the idea that governments should

intervene in an economy in order to improve the lives of the working class—or at the very least

protect them from harm.

Socialist Thought Emerges

Some sought to end the problems of the Industrial Age

by instating socialism. Utopian communities sprang up

that tried to live according to a socialist model.

Utilitarianism: Jeremy Bentham

Laissez-Faire Economics

Economists during the Enlightenment tried to grapple with how the Industrial Revolution would

affect the working class. Views ranged from dire (Thomas Malthus and David Ricardo) to

optimistic (Adam Smith).

society in which all means of production would be owned by everyone equally.

Marxism in the Future

Some Marxist ideas were put into practice in Germany, Russia,

and other countries. The practical failures of these ideas quickly

became evident, however, and this economic model is now

nearly extinct.
