[Changes in the theory of the Industrial Revolution]
The term "industrial revolution" itself was used by K. Marx and A. de Tocqueville of France, but it was established as a strict academic term in the 1880s by A. Toynbee, a British social reformer. While teaching at Cambridge, Toynbee was active in improving slums in the East End of London, and his name is still preserved in Toynbee Hall. For him, the "industrial revolution" meant the sudden and great transformation from a rural society to a capitalist industrial society in the second half of the 18th century, that is, from the accession of George III to the throne to the first half of the 19th century, that is, the mechanization and motorization of production activities, the spread of the factory system, the resulting establishment of industrial cities, and the rise of a class of industrial capitalists and factory workers.
