Review of 'Paths to Paradise' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Very good bit of writing about the expected decreasing trend in the amount of work needed to be done by everyone. Makes predictions, from 1980, for the "end of the century" which did not pan out; it would be great to finder more recent commenters on this.

"Future socialism will be post-industrial and anti-productivist or it will not be." p.3

"...[T]here can no longer be full-time wages work for all, and waged work cannot remain the central activity in our lives. Any politics which denies this, whatever its ideological pretensions, is a fraud." p.34
