Andrew Ure vs. Adam Smith

It was brought to my attention after class that I was a little misguided about what Andrew Ure thought of the factory system, and how he was different than Adam Smith. Smith, who wrote prior to French and American Revolutions, was responding to what he thought was an outdated economic system that was still controlled by the state and craft guilds. He was therefore concerned with how workers could be liberated from this system. He felt positively about the development of the factory system, and thought that machines benefited workers because it made them more productive.
Andrew Ure, who wrote in the 1820s and 30s, was a political economist (not a moral economist) like Adam Smith. He was a proponent of industrial capitalism as embodied in the factory. Though he thought machines were dehumanizing for workers, he was more concerned with how workers could be controlled within the factory than with how they could be liberated. So, the question for Smith was how to liberate workers, whereas for Ure, it was about how they can be constrained more effectively.
