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.
