Tools and Ownership

  • In domestic systems, workers own small hand tools.
  • Factory systems feature large power-driven machines owned by capitalists.

Production Output

  • Domestic systems produce a small output, serving only the local market with products made on a per-order basis.
  • Factory systems achieve a large production output, selling to a worldwide market and manufacturing goods in anticipation of demand.

Nature of Work

  • In domestic systems, workers handle the full production of items independently.
  • Factory workers typically focus on one part of a larger product, exemplified by Henry Ford's assembly line, keeping them stationary in the early 20th century.

Work Hours
