Of a similar thinking is, I suppose, "The Right to Be Lazy" by Paul Lafargue.
I read it some time ago and if I remember correctly he believed that there isn't/wasn't any need to work more than 3 hours a day because of the technological advances of the time (and to think this was in 1883!)
After a quick search I found it is available online at: http://www.marxists.org/archive/lafargue/1883/lazy/ http://www.marxists.org/archive/lafargue/1883/lazy/
- foobarqux 13y ago"Quitting the Paint Factory" is another good essay on the theme but is marred by an atopical discussion of George Bush. http://paulbe.dreamwidth.org/961.html http://paulbe.dreamwidth.org/961.html
- ludwigvan 13y agoTrivia: Lafargue was Marx's daughter's husband.
- kungfooguru 13y agoTrivia: And one of the people Marx was referring to when he said that if they are Marxists then "what is certain is that I myself am not a Marxist."
