( points This is just an example). Assume the country of Examplestan is initially at point as shown on the chart at right. Next, for whatever, reason, the living standards and population change over the next few generations so as to trace out a smiley face with glasses. Indicate what happens over the next several generations, on the chart at right. is generation, is gen 2, etc. Some of the readings, & therefore material, changed from 27 to 28. In 27, the early textile industrial revolution & machines were discussed. $,6 $,4 $,2 $, $ (3 points) Assume the country of Malthusia is experiencing a Malthusian Relationship.

Indicate what happens in Modernia, over the next several generations, on the chart at right. is generation, is generation 2, etc. $,6 $,4 $,2 $, $ What was true about Asian birth patterns, around the year 4, according to Clark? a. Rich Asian families have significantly more babies than poor Asian families. b. Rich Asian families would have slightly more babies than poor Asian families. c. Rich Asian families would have slightly fewer babies than poor Asian families. d. Rich Asian families have significantly fewer babies than poor Asian families. 5.

In Asia, the wealthy families could keep their family empires together. This was one area in which China actually had an advantage over Europe. b. In Europe, the rich s wealth and talent would be trickle down, i.e. be redistributed toward the middle of society, rather than remaining permanently among a few elite. c. In Asia there was a lack of cheap, unskilled, labor. This meant that Asia relied on skilled craftsmen a. b. rather. The Mongols and had introduced little need horses to invent to industrial Europe. machines. 7. How does Persson explain the decrease in Western European after (about) 86? According to Persson, European birth rates fell because: a. increased urbanization meant poorer nutrition for most families. Fertility rates dropped largely because of declining maternal health. b. science had discovered the fertility cycle. Once this knowledge became widespread, families could more easily plan the number of kids they had. c. higher survival rates meant a family only needed to have a few kids to ensure they would have offspring survive to become the next generation. Europeans shifted from a strategy of having lots of kids but not providing much care for each one, to strategy of fewer kids and more care. d. Malthus doctrine of the dangers of rapid population growth became mainstream. Large families were now seen as primitive and uncultured. 2

Which part of the textile manufacturing process was automated first? a. printing patterns on cloth d. spinning the fibers b. cleaning the fibers e. weaving the fibers c. combing/carding the fibers f. sewing the fabric together 9.

Rich Europeans could easily use their families to keep large enterprises together. This meant Europe could more easily achieve the economies of scale that industrialization offered. d. Overall, labor was scarcer in Europe providing Europe with an incentive to industrialize. Europe, however, had plenty of low skill workers to operate its machines and factories. 3

4 ECON 343 European Economic History John Lovett 4. Once the Spinning Jenny & Water Frame were adopted, output per worker hour in spinning: a. remained roughly the same.

5 ECON 343 European Economic History John Lovett 9. Which of the following is another reason early factories were first built? a. New inventions greatly increased efficiency, but also required very large scale production. b. The invention of coal fired kilns meant the price of bricks fell to about 25% of their former cost. c.

What is the name of the machine at right? 2. What is this machine making or doing? Be as specific as possible? 22. What is the name of circled part(s)? 23. Which of the following best describe the putting out system? a. a system in which an individual merchant would buy large quantities of wool, then pay many individual spinners to spin the wool in their own homes. The merchant would then pay many individual weavers to make the spun thread into cloth, etc. b. a system in which raw wool is dyed before being made into thread and cloth. Once the wool was made into cloth, a bleach was applied to put out the color and leave a pattern. c. a system in which England produced wool, but all England did was wash it. The raw wool was shipped to the Netherlands where it was made into thread and cloth. d. a tax system in which each sale of wool, spun thread, and cloth were taxed.

U.S. living standards were not limited by lack of land. c. what would become the United States (the British 3 colonies) transitioned to a post-malthusian world very early. U.S. birth rates fell to modern levels a century before English birthrates did. d. what would become the United States (the British 3 colonies) transitioned to a post-malthusian world very late. U.S. birth rates did not fall to modern levels until around 97. 5

6 ECON 343 European Economic History John Lovett Essay: 3 points. Answer of the following 2 essays. In what way were the machines invented in the early Industrial Revolution revolutionary? In what ways were these machines more evolutionary? Discuss the machines themselves, what powered them, and the production system in which they were used. 2. Explain how the Black Death and plague might have affected Western Europe according to one who strongly believes that Western Europe was in a Malthusian relationship prior to about (7). Use at least two graphs, similar to those we used in class, to illustrate your arguments. One graph should show birth and death rates on the vertical axis. Shift at least one of the curves to show how the Black Death affected living standards. For the other graph or graphs well figure something out. 6
