The modern factory appeared in Britain in about 1750. Before 1750, manufactured goods such as thread and cloth were produced mainly in workers' homes, or cottages-which is why the system is called“cottage production.” Business owners supplied workers with raw materials-for example, cotton--and each worker would work at home with simple machinery to produce finished goods in the form of lengths of cotton thread, for which they were paid by the piece. Most cottage workers had their own farms and worked for the business owners only part-time. After 1750 cottage production was largely replaced by factory production. So what caused the shift to factories? Historians have long debated the primary reason for this change. One theory is that the move to centralized factories was driven by the new technology. The Industrial Revolution of the eighteenth century is associated with large, complex machines that run on water or steam power.Obviously, such machines could not be used in workers' cottages, so it is tempting to conclude that factories arose because of technological advances. Another theory attributes the rise of factories primarily to the strengthening of property rights in Britain in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.As a result, private property in Britain received much stronger legal protection. This stimulated investment in factories by reassuring business owners that their investments in factory buildings and equipment-and the profits resulting from them---would be safe. A third explanation is that business owners thought factories would help reduce their overall business expenses by reducing their transportation costs. In the cottage system, business owners had to pay the costs of transporting raw materials to and transporting finished goods back from each worker. Because worker cottages were often located far apart, these costs could be very high.

The reading and the lecture are both about primary reason for shift to factories. The author of the article argue that three factors may caused this change, the lecturer disputes the claims mentioned in the article. His position is that these factors are not primary reasons for this change. According to the reading, the new technology drive the development of the factories. The article mentions that the complex machines powered by the water or steam power play an important role in centralized factories. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. Additionally, he points out that the workers work in an organized way, but they didn't use the complex machines to produce the production. He claims that they use some simple equipment and they produce the cottages before the appearance of steam power. Secondly, the author suggests that the rise of factories are caused by property right. The article notes that the private property in Britain received legal protection. Investment become increased, ensuring the profit from production. The lecturer, however, asserts that the safety of property don't have any influence in change of factories. He goes on to say that another place could also provide stronger legal protection, but the factories didn't appear in these places. So, there must have other factors stronger than property lost to promote the centralized factories. Finally, the author puts forth the idea that factories could reduce the expense of transportation. The author contends that business owners had to pay the costs of transporting raw material. In contrast, the lecturer argues that this method didn't reduce the cost of overall. He says that the cost actually increased. Because they should hire the supervisor to oversee the workers, finally, the cost of overall increased.

The reading and the lecture both discuss the primary reasons for the shift to factories. The author of the article presents three factors that may have caused this change, while the lecturer disputes these claims, arguing that they are not the primary reasons for this transition.
Firstly, the reading suggests that new technology drove the development of factories. The article highlights that complex machines powered by water or steam played an important role in centralizing production. However, the lecturer challenges this argument, pointing out that workers in early factories worked in an organized manner but did not use complex machines for production. Instead, they employed simple equipment and produced goods similar to those made in cottages before the advent of steam power.
Secondly, the author posits that strengthened property rights contributed to the rise of factories. The article notes that private property in Britain received stronger legal protection, which stimulated investment and ensured profits from production. Contrarily, the lecturer asserts that property security alone did not influence the shift to factories. He explains that other places also provided strong legal protection for property owners but did not witness a rise in factory systems. Therefore, there must be other factors more influential than property rights in promoting centralized production.
Lastly, the reading presents the idea that factories could reduce transportation expenses for business owners who had to pay costs associated with transporting raw materials and finished goods between worker cottages. In contrast, the lecturer argues that adopting a factory system did not necessarily reduce overall business costs. He states that while transportation costs may have decreased, other expenses increased due to factors such as constructing and operating factories and hiring supervisors to oversee workers. Consequently, it seems unlikely that reducing business expenses was a primary driver behind the emergence of factory systems. (304 words)
