You might study the origins of Capitalism. Those kids probably weren't starving before the factory was build and their families forced of the land they were farming.
---------- The Highland Clearances, a prime example of Capitalist displacement of peoples. In the 18oo?s, Scottish tribal chieftains began expelling people from land in order to ?improve? production. Supported by the English Crown which had already begun the same process, landlords forced people off their ancestral lands to turn land into Capital. The subsequent emigration also caused violence in the lands to which people fled, as indigenous peoples in the Americas and Australia became secondary victims of Scottish Capitalism.

And, no, this pattern is not restricted to Scotland but is repeated again and again around the world.
