Amish Enterprise: From Plows to Profits (Center Books in Anabaptist Studies)
""The Amish lifestyle is changing, but the Amish grasp on the land is stronger than ever... The move of Amish into small businesses was documented by Donald B. Kraybill in his recent book, Amish Enterprise... Some Amish 'shopmen' no longer need to work dawn-to-dusk, as they did when tending dairy herds requiring 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. milkings. In this male-dominated society, some men are not the dominant influence in this cultural change because 'twenty percent of the businesses are operated by women.'." -- Philadelphia Inquirer""Kraybill studied 1,000 Amish businesses in Lancaster County and found few cases of failure -- and some big successes. Some 15 percent had sales over $100,000, and 7 percent had sales over half a million dollars." -- Utne Reader
