Andre Gorz's earlier books-from Ecology as Politics to Farewell to
the Working Class and Paths to Paradise-have informed and inspired
the most radical currents in Green movements in Europe and America
over the last two decades. In Critique of Economic Reason, he
offers his fullest account to date of the terminal crisis of a
system where every activity and aspiration has been subjected to
the rule of the market. By carefully delineating the existential
and cultural limits of economic rationality, he emphasizes the
urgent need to create a society which rejects the work ethic in
favor of an emancipatory ethic of free time. At the heart of his
alternative is an advocacy not of "full employment," but of an
equal distribution of the diminishing amount of necessary paid
work. He presents a practical strategy for reducing the working
week, and develops a radical version of a guaranteed wage for all.
Above all, he argues that a utopian vision is now the only
realistic proposal, and that "economic reason must be returned to
its true-that is subordinate-place."
