In AJE, this is an important source of income.
A goal of bourgeois revolution (such french and american, but bolchevik was paradoxally one too) was to totally submit paesantry (monarchy had let them
some freedom), so the bourgeoisy cut the people logistics (no possible strategy without logistics, the class war of bourgeoisy onto people was mainly won, but who still want to fight has not totally lost).
Once people has no longer free means of living, they must beg it to owners, who ask then people to work for them. So there is no longer need of slavery (save to destroy people), compelled work, as people ask themselves to work for masters who have no longer the burden of compelling and feeding them: waged labor is a dream for those who controle the money.
