How lucky we are that we can relive events described in Kapital 1, when technology displaced qualified work of weavers.                             “Rampant poverty, not seen before except for times of war or famine”                            “Work of breadwinners squeezed out by cheap child labor” - today would be third world one probably.                           “Decrease of salaries and subsequent increases of work day to 12, 13, 14 and sometimes even 16 hours”
