Work Shapes Society
#work #evolution
Think of a group of 1000s of hunters looking for food. They would have caused a ruckus and scared away the game. If they managed to kill a herd to feed them all, food would not be sustained for long. Tilling and farming shifted the paradigm. Simple shifts in work can alter the organization of society. Hunting bands had to be small. Farmers could be villages. Industries could be cities within skyscrapers.
