The Right To Be Lazy by Paul Lafargue

At once a masterpiece of critical theory and rip-roaring radical humour, this is one of the most spirited attacks on the notion of the 'work ethic'. Featuring a revised edition of the original English translation by Charles Hope Kerr, this collection also includes four of Paul Lafargue's lesser-known critiques, including Catechism for Investors as well as a biographical sketch by longtime Wobbly organiser Fred Thompson and a new introduction. Released in collaboration with Kerr Company to their 125th anniversary.
