avoid overcrowding and accidents on the factory floor.
hire fewer workers to perform a variety of tasks.
promise higher pay as an incentive to work harder
The correct answer is Option A) increase their profits in a competitive environment.
By paying low wages, factory owners were able to increase their profits in a competitive environment.
Labor costs made up a large portion of a factory's costs followed by machinery, maintenance and stock.
The easiest way to reduce costs for any factory or business at the time was to simply pay workers poorly. Since there were hardly any legislation for employees, and the fact that unemployment and poverty was very high, factory owners were able to exploit workers in order to make as much profit as they could.
The correct answer is Option A) increase their profits in a competitive environment.
Voltaire
Plato
Rene Descartes
Answer:
Voltaire
Explanation:
At a time when Machiavelli's text 'The Ruler' was regarded as the definitive manual of every ruler, Frederick rejected the real-political approach of the Italian author and wrote his own text called Anti-Machiavelli. This idealistic rejection of Machiavelli's work was published anonymously in 1740, but with the interest of the French philosopher Voltaire, the work is gaining popularity. Two of them were exchanging a number of letters and the period when Voltaire was welcomed into his court is known in history. This period of life, when Frederick paid more attention to art than politics, ends with the death of his father in 1740.
