But it's important to remember that before we learned how to share the fruits of the Industrial Revolution with the broad swathes of society, we had to go through two depressions, the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Long Depression of the 1870s, two world wars, communist revolutions in Russia and in China, and an era of tremendous social and political upheaval in the West.
Ali je važno upamtiti kako smo, prije nego smo naučili kako dijeliti plodove industrijske revolucije kroz širi obuhvat društva, morali proći kroz dvije velike gospodarske krize, veliku krizu iz 1930-ih, dugu krizu iz 1870-ih, dva svjetska rata, komunističke revolucije u Rusiji i Kini te eru ogromnih društvenih i političkih previranja na Zapadu.
