Role in community: foundation of early union/activists. Production is local; the vast majority of thing ppl wore, made was made within a small radius. Self-sufficiency; goals of the community to provide for themselves. Key figure: master-craftsmen skills is important to run small shops that produce basic goods (99% male identity) Island communities : these communities (towns) were normally isolated. When craft workers are under pressure; want to be independent producers. Small scale; most of the work done was in craft shops. Family roles in business (women did the business/books/sales, sons worked as apprentices) Clear hierarchy (present in all or most trades) Apprentices (young age, cleaning and learn the trade) Journeyman (skilled workers paid well, and work for craftsman) Paternalism and respectability (not the elites/not top of society) Public role (ex. church and community); helped everyone else to get by (good provider for self and others)
