some economists, such as robert e. lucas, jr., say that the real effect of the industrial revolution was that "for the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth ... nothing remotely like this economic behaviour is mentioned by the classical economists, even as a theoretical possibility." others, however, argue that while growth of the economy's overall productive powers was unprecedented during the industrial revolution, living standards for the majority of the population did not grow meaningfully until the late 19th and 20th centuries, and that in many ways workers' living standards declined under early capitalism: for instance, studies have shown that real wages in britain only increased 15% between the 1780s and 1850s, and that life expectancy in britain did not begin to dramatically increase until the 1870s. similarly, the average height of the population declined during the industrial revolution, implying that their nutritional status was also decreasing. real wages were not keeping up with the price of food.
