Some reason is because consolidation of business. The local world around us, local business, has evaporated. Instead of making things & running loc shops - which requires local people to take command, to be entrepreneurial - there's now some vast far off corporate hierarchy doing all the decision making and rolling it out to an ever changing workforce of people they probably havent nor will ever meet. There's not much dignity here. The opportunity to be the boots on the ground figuring out & doing things is semi done for. We don't see & witness the work of others around us, don't have the example of good rewarding work. Thus the social contract slips & gives.
