- 7. Proto-industrialisation refers to the phase before factories, when large-scale production for international markets was carried out not in factories but in the countryside. Merchants in towns supplied money and raw materials to peasants and artisans, who produced goods such as thread and cloth in their own homes. The merchants then collected the finished products and sold them in distant markets. This system gave merchants control over a large network of producers without the need to own a factory, and it allowed rural families to earn an income alongside farming. It formed an important stage that prepared the way for the later rise of the factory system.
