Explains how and why Americans still cling to work as a solution rather than a problem - why it is that both liberals and conservatives announce that "full employment” is their goal when job creation is no longer a feasible solution for any problem, moral or economic. The result is a stirring denunciation of the ways we think about why we labour, exhorting us to imagine a new way of finding meaning, character, and sustenance.
