Here's an interesting piece:
http://www.cnrs-scrn.org/northern_mariner/vol12/tnm_12_1_1-14.pdf
about the change in the workplace for fishermen with the introduction
of steam trawlers in the first half of the 20th c. Lunenburg, Nova
Scotia, Gloucester, Mass. and environs.
I've mentioned before that we should distinguish between seeking ways
to create enough wage-slave industrial jobs to support everybody as a
consumer and seeking to engender self-reliance and education that
would make it possible for people to make do even if it subverts the
consumerist superstructure.
The referenced article illuminates one particular piece of the
historical transition from the latter to the former as the default way
of living.
