Detailed Solution

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, urban European merchants started relocating to the countryside, where they paid farmers and craftspeople to make goods for a global market. Thus, this proto-industrial system functioned as a hub for trade. It was run by merchants, and instead of factories, a sizable proportion of producers worked on their family farms to create the items.
