>>I would once again suggest taking a look at Matthew B. Crawford’s wonderful book, Shop Class as Soulcraft. In it, he examines what he describes as “the value of work.”
I’ve read this book twice and frankly, it is so thick with arcane philosophical references, I don’t see what value it brings to most people. His shorter MY Times article describes the most important points without the twisted Ivory Tower discussions.
Should be “NY Times article”
