In a way, the refusal of work is a direct action of sorts but how do individuals survive outside the system? Frayne has spent much time interviewing his subjects and finds that mutual support from other 'idlers' is necessary as well as the inner belief necessary to take the initial step away from working full-time.

He reflects that many he interviews are constrained by their own perspectives on how society views them, as well as the force applied directly by society itself.Should be read by everyone, especially the workaholics and those that cling to their job for the status it brings them. The perfect partner to Kathi Weeks - The Problem with Work.

Only that does not imply that everybody else should support the ones who refuse to work. To make things even more displeasing, it is the societies coming from Frayne's part of the political spectrum that have created the Gulag, and not the societies against which Frayne militates. And everything is thrown in for the sake of emotion. Even ecology. Because even if people are employed, Frayne damns the whole argument because 'what might the environmental Everybody should be free to refuse to work.

Inspiring and passionate, was engaging for the most part though it is a shame it is somewhat biased, the research carried out here departs from an evident desire of what it wants to find. Also it is constructed mainly around pieces from a bunch for previous works on the topic, which don't make this book very valuable by itself, more than as a compendium or summary, if maybe not comprehensive enough (even if a bit repetitive), since leaves some questions in the air.

And with them the desire to continue reading on the topic. This is an interesting text since I haven’t thought much myself about the systemic disalienation of your labor as a point of protest.

The first chapters of Frayne’s book introduces me to several thinkers I have never heard of, and takes ideas from those who are more familiar, back to old grandfather Karl. But for me the Marxian framework is more about refiguring the ownership of the labor output than direct nonwork. Frayne goes back to Keynes to show that there was a leisure trade-off that was once thought inevitable that was instead traded for more consumption.The theoretical beginning is interesting, but the book really gained steam when the author talks to people who have removed themselves from the labor force for some kind of idleness or aggressive loafing. I’m being too facile here, since each person he talks to has their own unique perspective on what they wanted to gain through work and what they want and are enjoying through not work.
