ABSTRACT
“Work and workers needed to be organized so as to achieve a desired level of production and delivery of goods and services. While laborers of all sorts were subject to a certain amount of violent coercion, that is not a sui cient explanation of the general successful discipline of labor, nor is the likely correct notion that workers obliged to perform corv¨|e labor on major royal projects, such as pyramid-building, were, at least, in part, motivated by religious devotion (i.e., to the monarchy).” (Kadish, 1996: 439)
