Question

how did socialists suggest solving the inequities caused by the industrial revolution?
a. ending private ownership of factories, mines, and mills
b. encouraging people to earn as much money as possible
c. limiting the power of labor unions
d. publishing novels that included social criticism

Explanation:

Socialists believed that the root cause of the inequities from the Industrial Revolution was the private ownership of the means of production (like factories, mines, mills). They thought that ending this private ownership would help create a more equitable society. Option B is more in line with capitalist ideas. Option C goes against what socialists would support as labor unions were seen as a way for workers (a key group in socialist thought) to have more power. Option D is a form of social commentary but not a core socialist solution to the structural inequities.

Answer:

A. Ending private ownership of factories, mines, and mills
