Question: Many of you have probably never worked on a farm. In fact, most of you probably don’t know where majority of the food you consumer every day comes from. One reason for this is the extent of specialization of labor in our modern society. Extreme specialization of labor, as Adam Smith once argued, is a sign of economic prosperity. An important criticism of capitalism, however, is that this detachment from the products we consume daily leads to a loss of sense of wonder, alienation from our own work, and even guilt. The French sociologist Emile Durkheim, for example, observed that as societies get richer, the suicide rate goes up.
After you volunteer on the farm please read the excerpt from “The Life of a Simple Man” by Emile Guillaumin.(Its summary is included in the attached file) This should give you a good perspective on what life was like for majority of people only 100 years ago (and still in many developing countries around the world today) and help you understand the true meaning of economic growth.
