As factors in the development of British manufacturing industry, Ure pointed out locational conditions, a self-acting machine, ample capital, lower interest rate, and excellent human resources. There were, however, some factors preventing the development of British manufacturing industry. They are trade unions, Factory Act, and protective trade. Such state interventions will make it impossible to maintain the prices of merchandise low in its trade with other countries. In order to win the intense international market competition, exposure to competition is required in a free economy. Ure considered that only economic freedom could develop the factory system leading to the prosperity of the country. In the background of these assertions his absolute reliance on the factory system can be observed.
