B. Rural ManufacturePutting-out system

The European Linen Industry

The putting-out system was an economic development that took place in the 1700's and went along closely with the Cottage Industry. The Putting-Out System was still a rural form of industry and basically involved a family making certain items out of raw materials, and selling them to an "agent", who sold them to the general public. This worked as a form of capitalism, as merchants could buy cheap products at home and sell them overseas.
