The factory owners did not have the power to compel anybody to take a factory job.

as these wage rates were, they were nonetheless much more than these paupers couldearn in any other field open to them. It is a distortion of facts to say that the

factories carried off the housewives from the nurseries and the kitchens and the children

from their play. These women had nothing to cook with and [nothing] to feed theirchildren. These children were destitute [poor] and starving. Their only refuge was the

factory. It saved them, in the strict sense of the term, from death by starvation. . . .

Ludwig von Mises, Human Action, ATreatise on Economics, Yale University Press
