Labor Avoidance is about work, something everyone hates, and something everyone longs to escape. At the same time, human nature is to sustain life that is physical, and thus constant labor is a necessity. This is what humanity, from Eden to our own post-industrial society, has always tried to reduce or avoid by making somebody else do it.

This book explores American capitalism and how labor (and the desire to escape it) has become responsible for so much human struggle and misery throughout history.
