So, I saw a headline a few days ago somewhere comparing the amount of *effective* time off a serf received in 18th feudal England vs. modern day capitalist 'Merica. The comparison was not favorable to say the least, agrarian economy etc.
At that time in England the traditional agreement with the land lord was you would get a parcel of land to farm for yourself, which you would work 3 days a week and then you would work 3 days on the lords land. I'm curious to know in modern day 'Merica what portion of a productive laborers labor, in the form of wages, do they bring home and what portion is kept by the capitalist?
Anyone know?
