Résumé :
Industrialization is the process by which manufacturing industries develop from within a predominantly agrarian society. This usually brings social and economic changes and it is accompanied by increases in input and output per capita. Industrial growth in the US started in the early 1800s. After the Civil War (1861-1865), the American industry was still small, rural, with little capital, sole proprietorships and widely dispersed. Up until 1880, agriculture was still the chief source of wealth in the US. Moreover, hand labor was still widespread, which accordingly limited the production capacity of industry. However, the industrialization process quickly accelerated during the last thirty years of the 19th century and the US soon emerged as a highly complex industrial economy. This had a dramatic impact on America's every aspect of life and industrialists came to dominate many aspects of the nation's life, including social and political affairs. But how did the US gain industrial leadership? There are three groups that altogether played an important role in the process of industrialization and whose actions led to US industrial leadership. They are the inventors, the trendsetters (in terms of business and management) and the government.
