Explain Why Commercial Labor Norms

Discuss why commercial labor norms are superior to subsistence labor norms when one needs to create wealth.

Creating wealth does not lie in the subsistent labor way of life.

Though, not always the smartest way to live life, many peasant farmers and villages would endure many years of hunger and hardship in order to just get by with minimal labor and to just preserve the aspects of subsistence labor norms.
