Men the Cheapest. Animal Hire in Russia Exceeds Human Labor
In Russia wages show horses cost more than men, and men more than women. In the Nishni-Volga region average pay per day is 72 cents for man and horse together, 34 cents for a man, 34 cents for a horse, and 10 to 20 cents for women. The central region shows horse 23, man 29, woman 13 cents. In the southern steppe horse 36, man 25, woman 16 cents. The piece links low human wages to social degradation and barbarism.
