If we want to be successful in building 21st century neo-subsistence, we should first try to understand how life used to be. And a good place to start is rural life in the 19th and early 20th century. We can then try to sort out:
- what worked then... how and why
- what we can add today (advances in scientific and technical knowledge, communications tech, cultural changes (=mindset), etc.)
- and what may work in the future.
Related to these documentaries are "Victorian Pharmacy" and "Tales of the Green Valley", also with Ruth Goodman.
