This controversial work by Paul Lafargue, Karl Marx's son-in-law, denounces the consequences of wage labor and labor in general in the bourgeois and capitalist society of the late 19th century. Lafargue argues that the love of work has taken hold of the minds of workers, hindering the struggle for a different and revolutionary society. In this essay, the author defends the right to laziness as a form of resistance against labor exploitation and a way to achieve a fuller and more satisfying life.
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.
