Reviews

Vintage Gorz - stimulating in its insight and rich in its documentation.' - Guardian As unemployment rises, the struggle, Gorz insists, is not for the 'Right to Work' but for an income regardless of work, for the sharing of the reduced amount of necessary social labour, above all for the primacy of autonomous, self-determined activity. And it is a struggle, he claims, that is already taking place. - New Statesman
