摘要：The article presents the theoretical concept of the Life-Mode of the Self-Employed, worked out by Scandinavian investigators who design the basic principles of the culture of the independent “worker” in an innovative manner and by reconsidering the content of the Marxist argument. The first chapter reviews the debate about self-employment in the agricultural sector in order to ascertain conceptual problems to understand this social group. Using these results, the second chapter explains the most important traits of the culture of self-employed people: the self-determined work, the concepts of responsibility and liberty, the family component and the stra-tegies of the self-employed.
