It's interesting that the article notes an idealization of the yeoman farmer in the American urbanite's psyche. I spend a fair amount of time reading Bret Devereaux's acoup.blog, and one thing I learned from there was the idealization of the small, independent farmer by Rome's literary elite (who themselves were wealthy urbanites). History repeats itself, it would seem :)
