it's less of a "who" and more of a "what", that "what" simply being advanced, co-operation based technology. there isn't some big greedy sleazy jew pulling levers behind the curtain and driving industrialisation forth; it's just that humans naturally tend to pursue new technologies for the advantages they bring in warfare, economic matters, etc. the "system" isn't a specific group of individuals, but rather the very tools that are available to us. all the various types of machinery in factories, roads, power lines, etc. all facilitate further, ever-accelerating development of tech at the cost of human freedom, dignity and such. we use our current tools to build new, better tools. the industrial age is just the point in history when this process became really streamlined, globalised - and so based on co-operation between various groups of people, economies, factories etc. (to build a car, you need tires from factory a, windows from b, fuel from c... these factories need tools from factory a, bricks from b and so on and so forth; as opposed to eg. medieval times where pieces of tech were mainly made by artisans on an individual basis).
