Farmers and Fishermen: Two Centuries of Work in Essex County, Massachusetts, 1630–1850 is a book by the Canadian historian Daniel Vickers, first published in 1994.[1] It analyzes and contrasts the economic roles of farmers and fishermen in early New England communities.[2]
It won the 1995 John H. Dunning Prize[3] as well as the 1994–95 Louis Gottschalk Prize from the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies.[4][5]
In the book, Vickers examines how a patriarchal system that relied on the unpaid labor of dependent sons transitioned gradually to an economic system in which these sons found work outside of the family farm.[6] For fishermen, he explores the shift from client-patron economic relations to a free market system, noting the difficulties fishermen faced in achieving economic independence in both systems.[2]
In the 1997 film Good Will Hunting, the title character cites the book during a history-of-economics debate in a Harvard Square barroom.[7]
