Explain how Proto industrialisation could achieve large scale production for an international market?
Answers
Answer:
Proto-industrialisation was a possible phase in the development of modern industrial economies that preceded, and created conditions for the establishment of fully industrial societies.
Even before factories began to appear on the landscape of England and Europe, there was large scale industrialisation production for an international market. This was not based on factories. Many historians refer this phase as "Proto Industrialisation". During this period, most of the goods were manufactured by trained craftsperson for the international market.
• The Proto Industrial system was a part of a network of commercial exchanges.
• It was controlled by merchants and the goods were produced by a vast number of producers working within their family farms, not in factories.
• At each stage of production 20 to 25 workers were employed by each merchant. This meant that each clothier was controlling hundreds of workers.
