Thomas Jefferson couldn't foresee the invention of the tractor and the combine which of course threw us into the industrial age, albeit kicking and screaming. And as a small-ish family farmer (and without the help of his slaves), Jefferson would never be able to compete with today's factory farms and corporate farmers. It is interesting to contemplate how even great thinkers are bound to their current circumstances. Thanks for a great article!
