It’s just wishful thinking that the solution to our current dysfunctional relationship to labor can be found in the past, ultimately driven by a failure of imagination. Sure a medieval peasant’s relationship to labor might have in some ways been better than today, but in most ways it was not. We can look at the past and learn from the positives only by acknowledging the negatives.
