capitalism and democracy in print

The one thing that really stood out to me in this chapter is the rise od publishing. Publishing was a popular information and entertainment industry that took place on both sides of the atlantic in the nineteenth century, but it was under different conditions. publishing and printing goes hand in hand, so together they led to sn industry that was commercially freewheeling. whoevever came up with the idea about publishing and printing is a very intelligent and smart person. Could you imagine if those two things didn't expand the way they did? Life would definately be crazy.
