integr ated peasant economy in a compar ative perspective
Do all the Scandinavian examples referred to above fit the concept in-
tegrated peasant economy? Surely not all of them, but impressively many.
In some cases, farming proper weighed heavy in the mix, in others farm-
ing was combined with only one principal activity (for example forestry
work). IPE should be interpreted as active rational choices, whether made
from a poverty position were pluriactivity proved a necessity for survival,
or, from a position shared by many pre-industrial and some modern farm
families with ample land resources with several options. Still, the drive to
utilise household resources optimally by engaging in various types of ac-
tivities fitting in the societal context of the time and space seem to be the
same. It is a perennial.
