    There was population growth in the late 1800s, it wasn’t until the population got paid more that the economy took off.

      While that’s true, the capitalists where getting richer and richer even before the big economic growth. They don’t really care. Also, the wage increases had to be hard fought for by a united working class. I don’t see american workers unite right now to fight the rich.
