Work and Play 4: Hands and Minds
from Making of a Historian · host Making of a Historian
In this episode, we talk sleepily about two parts of labor in the Industrial Revolution that tend not to get a ton of love: craft labor and the professions. We usually think of the image of the factory, but only a very small portion of work was factory work. Many more people worked with their hands. At the same time, there was an expansion in the number of professions. That's it!
