The text talk that the parlment in 1833 argued about the education for poor people, So the

A that time the workhouse was a symbol of shame and degradation.
The education was obligatory and an opportunity for all children.

Centralization or not?
Some historians said that there wasn't an age of laissez faire and others said that it existed
By the middle of the 19th century, laissez faire was firmly established as the principle in economic life.

Urban and rural squalor

The lesson talks about Manchester like a great city with the best industries, and like a city that have problems with the education, the dirtiest and the disease.

Some investigations of Kay's says that the problems are from the rural areas because its labour agriculture is bigger than the demand for it, and the Victoria government wants to take solutions about that problem, seeking information about this aspects of rural areas

The growth of the state

Jeremy talks about an ideology Utilitarism and he believe on the happiness with the creation of industries , and with the industries the people have a job, and with the job they have happiness on the family , and that way they created a virtuous circle,
But they have a problem because the ideology was false the city don't have progress, because the potatoe faming was killing people and the solutions of the citizens were emigrate to found a better life, this were demostrated in Ireland,
they argued that the solution was a central government intervention to eliminate the damaging effects of unrestrained industrial capitalism.

3.-INTERVENTION

William Gladstone wanted to follow the ideas of Smith about the income tax, because the tax incremented and Gladstone put a solution if he won the elections he promised to abolish the income tax on the election of 1874, The problem was that he lost and the income tax increased and became the mainstay of government revenue.

In 1869 the revenues of Victoria went to government departments, the people were concerned about the centralization and state power. The historians like Eric Hobsbawm thought that the 19th century came as near laissez-faire.

Then the taxes raised to fight the wars, but the welfare of it’s citizens was a local responsibility. Victorian Britain government responsabilities extended on diplomacy, warfare and defence. Otherwise Victorian Britain was a country of growing state intervention.

4.-LOCATING THE PROBLEMS

The Industrial Revolution in Britain changed the life of Victoria country because the city increased, I mean that the city became much bigger than other years, the population increase, created more industries, appeared the pollution, in resume:

The country growth, but caused social problems, and the Dr JP Kay illustrated that problems:

The pollution will cause heart diseases; the dirt city and economy are found in the alliance with dissipation, disease and reckless habits. The population becomes less efficient, the horrors of pauperism would accumulate. And the people will be an unhappy existence.

Resume of page 1 and 2

United kingdom in the reign of the Queen Victoria was the world's leading power for its naval supremacy and world diplomacy.
UK was the country that napoleon rejected because UK wasn't an important country and now become the workshop of the world and could withstand the new industries of others nations.
Although United Kingdom is an small country of Europe, is very important and it counts with a lot of power and supremacy.

Laissez- faire means leave to do or live alone, it relates to economic policies that rely on the power of unregulated markets to deliver the goods. The goods were secure economic growth, international competitiveness and unemployment. This have the minimal government involvement.
Margaret Thatcher who was the Britain's prime minister 1970-1990 wants to follow the ideas of Adam Smith and the Queen Victoria because people doesn't have a secure life and everybody work for other people or classes and they forget work for themshelves. So her idea was to decrease the income tax for stimulate competitiveness and innovation. that way the economy grows, and everyone would benefit theirs life.
