Baltipink reviewed The Right to Be Lazy by Paul Lafargue
Review of 'The Right to Be Lazy' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The best parts of this book are the historical context and the introduction. Lafargue's actual text is mildly interesting and he is definitely addressing an important topic. We do need to stop worshiping at the alter of work/jobs and carve out more time for the important things. But I found reading him a little tedious. And anybody who cites the Greek philosophers with admiration (especially Aristotle) and then talks about how they knew only slaves should work....Well, we have a problem.
