Original Affluent Society
The thing that stuck out to me in this reading is the misconception that people have about the amount of time hunter gatherer societies worked compared to modern workers. It seems clear to me that overall they would have way less time working since they just needed to provided enough food to live each day instead of trying to make as much as possible. The misconception probably comes from modern people imagining the worst situations hunters and gatherers could be in, or insert themselves into that lifestyle. For people who are not socialized to want to consume as much as modern humans do, this lifestyle could be completely possible and fulfilling.
I think that hunter gatherer societies probably had very affluent and rich cultures in a way that we don't quite understand. Today we are driven to become rich in order to fulfill our seemingly endless amount of desires, but in their society they had the freedom to pursue whatever they wanted that was available to them naturally. We probably won't know to what extent their culture was like, but we can assume that with more free time they had an extremely rich group culture.
