This provocative collection of essays by writers from the 19th century through to today both grand and unnamed dissects work, its form under capitalism and the possibilities for an alternative society created around producing for our needs, rather than mere avarice. It posits the question—why do some of us still work until we drop in an age of vast automated production, while others starve for "lack of work"? Where is the leisure society that was promised?

Reprinted, and updated from the 1983 original, edited by Vernon Richards. Re-edited by Rob Ray, with a new preface by Nina Power. Freedom Press, 2016.
