The productive and at the same time silent economic operators cultivate and transform the countryside while remaining almost invisible in the social field. The story of this great social class attempts to narrate the present book. Having as a starting point their appearance in the prominence of the years before the Revolution, it records their participation in its successful outcome and analyzes their contribution to the evolution of Greek life throughout the period from the establishment of the Greek state until today. The book covers a large time and thematic range in an attempt to narrate the timeless course of this great historical subject.To tell the overall story of the rural world in Greece and to integrate the action of the great sea of peasants-farmers in the various economic, social, political and ideological contexts.
