In Hard Times, Charles Dickens portrays Josiah Bounderby as a stereotypical, arrogant, demanding, successful businessman. He represents a powerful down-to-earth attitude, but driven by greed and with no real concept of human nature, but his character isn't really a good representation of the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
