Explanation

The Industrial Revolution created a new capitalist class - factory owners, investors, and entrepreneurs who owned the means of production and accumulated wealth through industrial investment. This class was distinct from traditional land-owning aristocracy (landlords), religious authorities (clergymen), and technical workers (engineers). Capitalists became the dominant economic class in industrial society.
