But it's important to remember that before we learned how to share the fruits of the Industrial Revolution with the broad swathes of society, we had to go through two depressions, the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Long Depression of the 1870s, two world wars, communist revolutions in Russia and in China, and an era of tremendous social and political upheaval in the West.
Pero es importante recordar que antes de aprender a compartir los frutos de la Revolución Industrial con amplios sectores de la sociedad, tuvimos que atravesar dos depresiones: la Gran Depresión de la década de 1930, la Larga Depresión de la década de 1870, dos guerras mundiales, revoluciones comunistas en Rusia y en China, y épocas de tremenda agitación social y política en Occidente.
