False. New export markets were created through the financing of factories, railways, ports and primary activity in the non-European world. This second wave of capital made possible the growth of agricultural imports. Creating a more favorable environment for economic and social prosperity in large cities, thus creating a rural exodus from a large portion that survived only from subsistence systems.
