Everything about The Abolition Of Work totally explained
The Abolition of Work is an essay written by
Bob Black in
1985. The essay was part of an anthology of essays entitled
The Abolition of Work and Other Essays, published by
Loompanics Unlimited,
Port Townsend, Washington,
United States (ISBN 0-915179-41-5). The thesis draws upon work by
Marshall Sahlins and
Richard Borshay Lee.
The essay, which may be freely reproduced, claimed that no one should ever work, because this is the source of misery in the world. Black suggests not only ending employment
discrimination but ending employment per se. He later explains his definitions of work, and states that work ought to be turned into
play, discarding notions of a "job" and an "occupation."
Black, a anti-marxist, takes a swipe at
Karl Marx in the final line: "Workers of the world...
relax."
