hi all
i'd like to recommend you a book
it's called
"Shop Class as Soul Craft:an Inquiry into the Value of Work"
by Matthew B Crawford penguin press 2009
there's a part of story mixed with sociological and philosophical reflexions about the role of work/trade , craft , knowledge ,know-how , self reliance ...
i'm really into it : after the first 100 pages , i feel compelled to slow down the reading ;;--)
the title in French is " éloge du carburateur" / praise the carburetor
at one point ,the writer uses the tuning of a motorcycle carburetor to dismantle the mental processes involved....
passionating!
