>Not much left to better the community when keeping yourself fed and clothed is two full-time jobs. My point was, back then, your two full-time jobs benefited the community in and of themselves. I'm not trying to argue that we should go back in time to the dark ages (I like modern medicine and technology), but am just suggesting that workers would have been far more likely to find intrinsic satisfaction in the work they did back then because they both had more autonomy/personal input and could also directly see their labour benefitting the people they cared about.
