The excerpt is about Edison's incandescent lamp. Electric light allowed for longer work hours as it provided illumination. Labor unions focused on workers' rights (not preventing hiring of skilled workers). Overseas manufacturing and laissez - faire regulations are not related to the impact of the electric light.

Longer work hours increased production.
