Abstract

The formation of industrial capitalism by a dynamic force in the West became an approach that divided history into the period before and after the industrial revolution. Various social, political, economic, cultural and technical causes and phenomena have been effective in the occurrence of this event, which have become the basis for the birth and growth of industrial capitalism in a complex and multiple relationship and none of them can be ignored or underestimated in explaining this issue. In this article, which uses Weber's historical sociology as a method and theoretical framework, the author seeks to answer the question of what stages were confirmed the formation of industrial capitalism in Europe and what factors were formed its foundation. In addition to economic-social and political factors, the transition from subsistence economy to industrial economy in the dictionary of the concept of development has been the result of the action of a part of the bourgeoisie in Europe, which after organizing commercial capitalism and providing the conditions for capital accumulation, with the transition from the speculative economy of capital foundations established an industry. Therefore, the main bearers of the industrial world in Europe were the trade sector, who, by changing from the speculative spirit and defeating the flag bearers of this spirit, provided the grounds for industrial capitalism in Europe.
