→Historiography
Due to [[Frederick Engels]] and [[Bertrand Russell]]'s writings, however, the Industrial Revolution was falsely stated to have caused unspeakable misery within America and Britain where machinery forced people to work and be oppressed. F. A. Hayek has since gone on to set the record straight.<ref>https://pjmedia.com/rogerkimball/2014/1/14/the-evils-of-capitalism/</ref>

==Criticism==
The Industrial Revolution has been criticized extensively by [[conservatives]] for destroying agrarianism and causing a decline in support for traditional values. The Industrial Revolution has also placed women into the workforce, thus preventing them from fulfilling their traditional role as homemakers. [[Feminism]], [[progressivism]], [[socialism]], and [[social liberalism]] all emerged or became more popular because of the Industrial Revolution. In ''Industrial Society and Its Future'', [[Theodore John Kaczynski]] said the following about the Industrial Revolution:
{{Cquote|The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.<ref>https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9064412-1-the-industrial-revolution-and-its-consequences-have-been-a</ref>}}
