À propos de cet audio
For centuries we've believed that work was where you learned discipline, initiative, honesty, self-reliance - in a word, character. A job was also, and not incidentally, the source of your income: if you didn't work, you didn't eat, or else you were stealing from someone. If only you worked hard, you could earn your way and maybe even make something of yourself.
In recent decades, through everyday experience, these beliefs have proven spectacularly false. In this book, James Livingston 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 witty, stirring denunciation of the ways we think about why we labor, exhorting us to imagine a new way of finding meaning, character, and sustenance beyond our workaday world - and showing us that we can afford to leave that world behind.

Absolute Garbage for weak, immature minds who don't understand finance, the nature of mankind or especially how Economics works.
More drivel for those who already approach life from a Victim's perspective and those who'd like nothing more than to destroy society and the fabric of our culture, with no answers, no insights and little more than the weakest concept of what leads people to happiness and fulfilment.
Most of all this whole approach fails to answer the most important question of all which can be summarized as:
OK, So you've destroyed civilization. You've destroyed everything that enabled Life, Culture and Prosperity to function correctly. You've attacked the Institutions, you've torn down the Systems and you've leveled the playing field and you've "MAGICALLY" created a fairer system where virtually nothing traditional would exist or function, in spite of the fact that there is no sense of Cause and Effect in this book so.... WHAT THEN? WHAT NEXT?
There is NO forthcoming answer because people who write, and think, like this HAVE NO ANSWERS to offer.
THIS BOOK, EVEN IF IT'S FREE, IS A LIABILITY TO ANY AND ALL WHO READ OR LISTEN TO IT.
It's not a brilliant work of genius, or academic insight,
It was written by the equivalent of an angry 10 year old that no longer wants anyone to participate in the world. Absolute excrement!
Absolute Drivel!
