    They certainly saw the beginning of the end of domestic work. It became far more practical to employ people in mills and more could be produced, leading to greater profit for the entrepreneurs who built them

    No, they merely changed it. The putting-out system was historically called the domestic system and one aspect of the putting-out system today is the cottage industry. People go home and they make something to bring in a little extra income, jams, woodworking products, candles, soaps, etc. It's even said that online retailers like Amazon and eBay have created another cottage industry, folks who buy merchandise that they then sell or auction online.
