Publisher's summary

"In capitalist society work is the cause of all intellectual degeneracy, of all organic deformity."

This essay raises interesting questions: is work really a virtue? Isn't work the source of many social imbalances? These are all questions that lend themselves to an exciting and topical debate on the role of work in our society.

Marx was wrong about this one boys. A must read. Honestly applies to the modern world more than when it was written.
