I'm not interested in comparing today's environment to the Industrial Revolution. Much in the same way, I'm not interested in comparing today's environment to the Old West, or the British colonization of North America. The reason is that there have been at least a few developments in economic theory since those times that would make such comparisons not very useful. There have been a few developments socially and politically as well.
