The Industrial Revolution transformed social organization of work, not just technology

Evidence

Thus the modern economy is a product of a social as well as a technical revolution. In the development of productive organization from precapital­ ist forms, through the relatively simple entrepreneur-worker relationship of the early factory system based on piecework, immediate supervision, and direct worker assessment to the modern complex, stratified, and bureau­ cratically ordered corporation or governmental organ, not simply the tech­ nical demands of work, but its social organization have changed drastically. — Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis, Schooling in Capitalist America, 557
