What Effect Did Entrepreneurs Have Upon The Industrial Revolution?

That is an interesting question! I don’t know if there is anything written about this aspect of the Industrial Revolution. I think the research would be incredibly interesting. My guess is that historically speaking, there were some people who shared their wealth for humanitarian reasons, but from what we read about this period in history, there was little concern for the small working man, woman or child. Each of the owners seemed to be only in it for the money, and there was an incredible amount of “slave” labor.
This is a question that will keep me thinking now for a very long time, thank you for asking it, and if you discover any writings or reserch that answers the question, will you please post it here. I would love to know the answer as well.
