This relationship is irrelevant in a society in which only a few percent of the population work in agriculture. Certainly Gordon expected a very large % to work in agriculture.

However one could, Im sure, come up with a theory in which changing the structure and mindset of even a modest part of society mattered. Certainly the impact of the kibbutzim on Israeli society from 1910 to about 1970 or so was far out of proportion to the numbers who lived on them (which was only a minority of the agricultural population - OTOH from the 1940s on there was considerable non-Ag economic activity on the kibbutzim) Im not sure how that relates to the theory referenced in the OP, though.

Im merely saying that a connection among all those things does not have to be hippy BS.
