If what has been widely read for some time is true, then we all work too much. And not only that: we also do it voluntarily. “Capitalism’s greatest prank” would be to “convince us that work is our true love,” writes author Sarah Jaffe in Work Won’t Love You Back. But the revolution is approaching, the ideal of professional self-realization is shaking.
