What social and economic effects did mass production and the assembly line have on the bourgeoisie

Mass production and assembly lines commonly known as Fordism at the beginning of the 20th century, turned around the economy and societies as a whole.

It led to a widespread improvement of life quality not only for the middle and upper classes, but for the working class, as well. Mass production improved the manufacturing of goods and productivity as a whole. It had a positive impact on the trade, as well. This led to lower prices of goods and services, and when the prices are low, there is a possibility to buy more goods for the same amount of money, which led to the creation of wealth and increasement of consumption. In that way the burgeoisie improved their social status. This created the phenomenon called mass society.
