      This is ridiculous. Being a subsistence farmer with no medical care and no laws against your husband beating you obviously sucked. For a middle class American white guy to idealize it like it’s a fuckin pastoral is the most ridiculous thing imaginable.

      Do you think the median American today, with their $55k a year in household income (or say $30k, if you want a ridiculous super conservative estimate because you don’t believe in stats) is worse off than a peasant subsistence farmer dying of appendicitis at 35 if he’s lucky?

      That's a terrible comparison because there haven't been peasants in the classical sense in the US for AT LEAST century. The real comparison is between a peasant in Vietnam or a coolie sharecropper and the peasants are consistently able to survive droughts and poor harvests

      better than contracted, wave-laboring farm workers. When you read anthropologists who've actually done substantive work studying peasant economies like the ones @yungneocon mentioned you realize that compared to their direct wage labor alternatives the peasants are far better off

      Let me randomly interject myself and suggest the book How Asia Works, whose first half is all about this. And also make a plug for the great Wolf Ladejinsky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Ladejinsky …

      Thanks for chiming in, Noah! Just read Ladijinsky’s wiki article, completely fascinating. Sorry for clogging up your mentions!

      It's OK, it was an interesting debate.
