- Description
- Description
- More and more white collar Americans have taken up the skills of homesteading — raising chickens, knitting clothing and building furniture. Matthew Crawford says it's not just because those administrative assistants want to be frugal. He believes making and fixing things gives us a deep moral sense of responsibility and the knowledge that our actions can transform the world. Matt Crawford runs a small motorcycle repair shop in Richmond, Virginia. He's also a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. He spoke at Town Hall Seattle on May 12, 2010. Elliot Bay Books and Town Hall's Center for Civic Life sponsored the event.
