An interesting analysis of Tolkein's descriptions of Hobbits. Quite a lot of quotes/citations. It really cuts through the whole "hobbits are anarchists" theory.

Good article but misses one thing, the shire can have a large agricultural surplus because the hobbits are smol beans with probably a third the caloric needs of humans yet still grow the same sized crops
