Abstract:

The economic model that became capitalism is based on efficiencies from standardization, specialization and concentration of productive resources. As capitalism developed and this model was applied to production activities, social and environmental problems such as child labor, unhealthy working conditions, unfair labor practices, and polluting activities often occurred. Over time, these issues were dealt with through a framework of laws and regulations.
