what was proto industrialization
Answers
Answer:
Proto-industrialization (also spelled proto-industrialisation) refers to the phase before industrialisation. It can also be defined as the earliest and initial age of industrialisation. It was an early stage in the development of modern industrial economies that preceded, and created conditions for, the establishment of fully industrial societies. Proto-industrialization was marked by the increasing involvement of agrarian families in market-oriented craft production, mainly through the putting-out system organized by merchant capitalists. It was an effective method of production which was controlled by merchants and had links to developing European consumerism. However, the phase, clearly remarked in the Indian subcontinent, was not observed across Europe, but it transited into the first Industrial Revolution in Britain through colonialism and activities of the East India Company.
