The rise of the middle class or bourgeoisie led to the growth of capitalism and the expansion of trade and industry. This resulted in the Industrial Revolution, a period of rapid technological advancement and economic growth in Europe and the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Industrial Revolution transformed society by increasing production efficiency, creating new job opportunities, and boosting standards of living for many people. Additionally, the rise of the middle class also led to an increase in consumer culture and the development of new markets for goods and services.
