Both owners and workers are motivated by profit. In earlycapitalist countries, the government had little control over private business affairs. This led to problems regardingworkplace safety, worker pay, and the environment. In modern capitalist countries, government regulations put manyrestrictions on business owners.Capitalist economies have traditionally created major class divisions between the rich and the poor. Socialism aimsto eliminate these divisions, although no socialist state has been entirely successful in reaching this goal. In a socialisteconomy, ownership of capital and distribution of wealth are managed by a centralized government. This is a difficulttask because of the sheer amount of work involved in managing an entire economic machine.

The seawas calm and its surface was covered with heavy fog. At 11:40 p.m. a lookout suddenly spotted an iceberg dead ahead.The ship turned sharply and, as it scraped by, was opened up like a tin can with a gash below the water line three hundredfeet long. The captain determined that they were going to sink fast and at 12:15 a.m. ordered his wireless operator to sendthe distress call. Within a few minutes the airwaves were rippling with signals as over a dozen ships became aware of thedisaster. At 1: 20 a.m. the world began to get news of the tragedy.Because of theTitanictragedy, people came to realize the magical power of wireless telegraphy. TheNew YorkTimescommented, “Through the roar of the big city there are constantly speeding messages between people separated byvast distances, and that over housetops and even through the walls of buildings and in the very air one breathes are wordswritten by electricity.” An officer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company also praised the wirelesscommunication that made it possible to follow the rescue. Without wireless technology, theTitanictragedy would havebeen a different story.
