whole sort of outfit doesn't work because some contributed more than others. From Bradford's diary men resented working for women who weren't their wives and women resented working for men, etc. Bradford realized that when people work for themselves they work harder.

he early Christians, as described in the book of Acts, tried this too, but it didn't work.
