OUCH! No mention of the book "The Old Way: A Story of the First People" Paperback – October 30, 2007
by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas which completes the story, and it's a very sad ending, the reverse of what the article suggests might happen. When real abundance came, after being moved from their ancestral lands, with pay by without any avocation, things went very much to hell. A wonderful culture, but abundance crushed it in the end. This is a dreadful cautionary tale about what may await us all; and it's matched by equally sad stories of crushed native cultures and societies around the world. No culture is prepared for the abundance, and boredom, to come. (But video games might help.)
