ABSTRACT
THE next consideration is that of significant enterprises under-taken, not with community or group objectives in mind, but on the basis of individual interest and initiative. I exclude from
these examples of 'ordinary' or 'normal' village work, based upon day-to-day subsistence activity, supplemented by occasional forays into the cash earning world. Such materials are subsumed in the generalized discussion. Rather I include examples of specialized or expansionist enterprise. By and large these are of a number of types, such as (a) village store-keepers, (b) cash oriented farmers, some of whom engage also in ancillary businesses, (c) cattle raisers, (d) marketing middlemen, and (e) those who have attempted to enter the world of commerce outside the village or rural environment. I have only one good example of (e) , since if the attempts were successful they fell outside the possibility of my observing them in detail, because they carried the individual to the remoter towns. Examples of (d) are set out in the next chapter.
