Revised introduction

Hi, I found this Engels' pause article on the “articles needing copy edit[ing]” page. I’m posting below a greatly shortened introduction to allow for comment: some removed details could be integrated into the body of the article. If the removed material is integrated, beware of a couple of incorrect usages: dictates in “Engels' pause dictates” (describes?); deterred in “urban environments deterred” (deteriorated?). The final two sentences I’ve written follow the headlines (Causes, Impacts, Controversies etc.) to add a general overview (i.e. make the paragraph introductory). These could be expanded.

Engels' pause is the term economic historian Robert C. Allen created for the period between 1800 and 1840 when British working-class wages stagnated while per capita gross domestic product expanded rapidly in the context of technological upheaval.[1] Allen named the period after German philosopher Friedrich Engels, who describes it in his work The Condition of the Working Class in England.[2] Economists from the nineteenth century on have analyzed its causes and effects, with some questioning its existence. Twenty-first century technological upheaval accompanied by wage stagnation has led economists and academics to draw parallels between the two periods.

Hi Adjprofe. That looks much better. Arguably a bit short now, but I think that you can WP:BRD. Good work. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:17, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Change "could be" to "should be" expanded. Adjprofe (talk) 20:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Above proposed changes to introduction made following a week wait for comment and support from editor for WP:BRD. Adjprofe (talk) 03:49, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
