During the Industrial Revolution, many governments adopted an economic system called capitalism. In this
system, governments allowed businesses to operate as
freely as possible. Capitalism led to economic growth in
many countries and helped a small number of people
become very wealthy. However, the system could be harsh
for poor rkers, who often worked long hours in unsafe
conditions just to make enough money to eat. As a result,
some workers turned against capitalism and demanded
that their governments take more control over their
economies.

You didn't give answer choices, but I will try to help.

Explanation:

Capitalism is a great idea, but it only profits those who have the resources to invest in business or property. This resulted in the decline of living conditions for those who needed hourly paying jobs to survive, and gave basically no room for movement up the ladder of industry. This upset the working class, and resulted in the strikes and demand for change in Government regulation.

The rise of captialism did result in the masses of lower class/poor citizens turning against it. This system of governement was geared towards privatized ownership of "capital". Therefore the rich whom could invest in industries would eventually be able to monoplized based on supply and demand. Workers would be at the losing end of this, with the industry reliant on those big investors, they would make up for any loses by under paying or bad working conditions. Long hours, hazardous environments, low wages and no real unions or regulations led to child labor and abuse of immigrant workers needing any job.  The industries were un-monitiered and the food packing industry took advantage of that, resulting in the Creation of the FDA under the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906 under Teddy Roosevelt. Also, the formation of Labor unions, fair wage, age and work day restrictions were formed under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 under Franklin Roosevelt.
