How Do We Get Paid in Beer?

Work was often thought of as something kind of ancient and connected to the past, just like we've been discussing in this conversation so far.

And suddenly, because of the rise of industrialization, work is no longer connected to the cycle of the seasons. Its not connected to anything that our ancestors did. It's become a giant railway train that's just like bearing down on us from the future and belching smoke and destroying our old ways of life.
