1. 1. The Refusal Of Work

   The Theory and Practice of Resistance to Work

   

   A critical exploration of modern work culture that argues work has become an ideology that dominates life and diminishes autonomy and wellbeing; it traces the history of anti-work thought, examines the social and economic forces—such as managerial control, precarious employment and consumer capitalism—that enforce long hours and meaninglessness, and draws on interviews and case studies to show how people resist. The book advocates for rethinking the centrality of paid labor through alternatives like shorter working hours, stronger social provision and experiments in non-wage-based living, aiming to reclaim time, dignity and democratic control over how we live.
