Das Recht auf Faulheit (Widerlegung des "Rechts auf Arbeit" von 1848): Ein verderbliches Dogma + Der Segen der Arbeit + Was aus der Überproduktion fol

The book critiques the ideological foundations of labor in Lafargue's time, particularly targeting the capitalist and bourgeois moral values that glorify work. He highlights the "work addiction" plaguing the labor movement, arguing that this obsession leads to the exhaustion of individuals and their descendants. Rather than advocating for a right to idleness, Lafargue calls for the abolition of capitalist production methods. He contrasts bourgeois philosophers, who are influenced by their employers, with ancient Greek philosophy, which held a disdain for labor. Paul Lafargue, a French socialist and physician, authored this critical examination.
