es gibt wohl star­ke ge­ne­ti­sche dis­po­si­tio­nen zur ängst­lich­keit und de­pres­si­on und die wis­sen­schaft ver­steht mitt­ler­wei­le ei­nen ta­cken mehr, von dem was in un­se­rer hard­wet­ware ab­geht:

The fact is that we are all wal­king around with a ran­dom and to­tal­ly un­fair as­sort­ment of ge­ne­tic va­ri­ants that make us more or less con­tent, anxious, de­pres­sed or pro­ne to use drugs. Some peo­p­le might find it a re­li­ef to dis­co­ver that they had a ge­ne­tic va­ri­ant that made them na­tu­ral­ly more anxious -- that they were wired for an­xie­ty, not weak -- even if right now the­re is no exact fix.

  sleuth­say­ers.org: The $3500 Shirt - A Histo­ry Les­son in Eco­no­mics   #

eve fi­sher hat mal zu­sam­men­ge­rech­net, was ein hemd vor der in­dus­tri­el­len re­vo­lu­ti­on wert war, bzw. ge­kos­tet ha­ben müss­te.

So, 7 hours for se­wing, 72 for wea­ving, 400 for spin­ning, or 479 hours to­tal to make one shirt. At mi­ni­mum wage - $7.25 an hour - that shirt would cost $3,472.75.
And tha­t's just a stan­dard shirt.
And tha­t's not coun­ting the work that goes into rai­sing sheep or gro­wing cot­ton and then ma­king the fi­ber fit for wea­ving. Or ma­king the th­read for the se­wing.
And you'd still need pants (tights or bree­ches) or a skirt, a bo­di­ce or vest, a ja­cket or cloak, sto­ckings, and, if at all pos­si­ble, but a rare lu­xu­ry, shoes.
