Download No More Work: Why Full Employment Is a Bad Idea AudioBook Free
For centuries we've believed that work was where you discovered discipline, initiative, integrity, self-reliance - in short, character. A job was also, rather than incidentally, the foundation of your income: if you didn't work, you didn't eat, or else you were stealing from someone. If only you functioned hard, you might earn the right path and perhaps even make something of yourself. In recent generations, through each day experience, these values have proven spectacularly phony. In this publication, James Livingston points out how and just why Us citizens still cling to are a solution rather than problem - why it is the fact both liberals and conservatives announce that "full work" is their goal when job creation is no more a feasible solution for just about any problem, moral or economic. The effect is a witty, stirring denunciation of the ways we think about why we labor, exhorting us to assume a new way of finding meaning, character, and sustenance beyond our workaday world - and displaying us that people are able to leave that world behind.
