Labor Avoidance is about work, something everyone hates, and
something everyone longs to escape. At the same time, human nature
is to sustain life that is physical, and thus constant labor is a
necessity. This is what humanity, from Eden to our own
post-industrial society, has always tried to reduce or avoid by
making somebody else do it. Historically, this nature and origin of
labor-avoidance is responsible for war, colonialism, slavery, and
now, contract employment in market society. This book explores
American capitalism and how labor (and the desire to escape it) has
become responsible for so much human struggle and misery throughout
history.
