«El derecho a la pereza» is Paul Lafargue's political philosophy essay, published by Editorial Fundamentos in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Lafargue argues that the working class should pursue pleasure, not work, as its ultimate goal. Against the bourgeois morality that sanctifies effort, he proposes reducing the working day to three hours and devoting the rest of the day to intellectual and physical enjoyment. He presents laziness as a revolutionary demand against the religion of capital.
The full subtitle is 'La religión del capital. La organización del trabajo'. It is part of the Ciencia / Economía, política y sociología collection, number 116.
For readers interested in political philosophy, critical economics, and the classics of socialist thought.
Paul Lafargue was a Cuban-born French political writer, economist, journalist, literary critic, and activist. His best known work is The Right to Be Lazy. Born in Cuba to French and Creole parents, Lafargue spent most of his life in France, with periods in England and Spain.
