>The industrial revolution didn't bring prosperity to anyone except the capital owners
This is simply not true. Compare life of common man of today, to one from 3 centuries before. Quality of life increased tenfold, medicine, knowledge access, world travelability, life expentancy, political representation etc.
Of course capital owners get richer even still, but suggesting we were better of without inudstrail revolution is just disingenous.
