20. STATEMENT OF CAPITALIST RELATIONS IN ENGLAND

England, earlier than other European countries, embarked on the capitalist path of development. Here the classic version of the establishment of bourgeois relations was realized, which allowed England already at the end of the 16th-18th centuries. take advanced capitalist positions and seize world economic leadership. The main role in this was played by the fact that the field of development of English capitalism was not only the city, but also the countryside. The village in other countries was a stronghold of feudalism and traditionalism, but in England, on the contrary, it became the basis for the development of the most important industry in the 16th-18th centuries. - cloth making.

Although in the XVII century. England remained predominantly an agrarian country, the development of capitalism found its manifestation in agriculture, industry and trade. Indicators of the development of capitalism in agriculture were the strengthening of the new nobility, which transferred its economy to the capitalist rails and actively participated in trade and money relations. Most of the nobility began to engage in entrepreneurial activities, creating sheep farms and turning into a new bourgeois nobility - the gentry. In an effort to increase income, the feudal lords turned arable land into profitable pastures for livestock. They drove off their holders - the peasants (fenced) and thereby created an army of paupers - people who had no choice but to become civilian workers.

In addition, an indicator of development in agriculture was the social stratification of the peasantry, in the course of which the categories of wealthy yeoman peasants emerged; freeholders (land owners); copyholders (tenants) and kotters (landless peasants). In industry, evidence of the development of capitalism was considered the rapid development of manufacturing production and the decomposition of the medieval guild system. In the first three decades of the seventeenth century there was a rise in all branches of English industry, especially cloth and mining.

In the sphere of trade, indicators of the rapid development of capitalism were seen primarily in the creation of trading companies for foreign trade, both regulated (company of merchants-adventurers) and joint stock (Moscow Company, East India Company). The expansion of economic interrelations within the country between various sectors of the economy, between individual regions meant an increase in the capacity of the domestic market, its development and further growth.

One of the most important features of the social structure of England on the eve of the revolution was the established alliance between the bourgeoisie and the new bourgeois nobility. The development of the capitalist structure in England led to the aggravation of class contradictions and the division of the country into supporters and opponents of the feudal-absolutist system. Absolutism was opposed by all bourgeois elements: the new nobility (gentry), who aspired to become full owners of the land by abolishing knightly holdings and speeding up the process of enclosing; the bourgeoisie itself (merchants, financiers, industrial merchants, etc.), who wanted to limit royal power and force it to serve the interests of the country's capitalist development. But the opposition drew its main strength from the dissatisfaction with its position of the general population and, above all, the rural and urban poor. The defenders of the feudal foundations remained a significant part of the nobles (the old nobility) and the highest aristocracy, who received their income from the collection of old feudal rents, and the guarantor of their preservation was the royal power and the Anglican Church.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Arlo Q IP Camera 17.11.2015

Netgear has developed a new Arlo Q IP camera with Full HD 1080p support. The novelty is aimed at use in home security systems.

For Arlo Q, even the dark time of the day is not a hindrance, because a 4-megapixel high-sensitivity sensor in combination with a night vision system will allow you to get an image in any lighting conditions. Two-way voice communication allows the user to hear conversations in the room where the camera is installed. In addition, Arlo Q can respond to sound and send a notification to the owner on an iOS or Android device.

The camera can quickly connect to an existing Wi-Fi network. The 130-degree wide-angle lens provides the ability to monitor the entire room. Recording of video on a cloud service is provided.

In the US, the novelty will appear in December at a price of $220. It will also be available soon in Australia, Canada and Europe for around £170 or €220.
