from the cover:
“Employment is required to earn money, providing necessities and creature comforts. This truth stands in stark contrast to the lie of the American dream that the pursuit of money equals the pursuit of happiness. That’s a deal with the devil.
“Our humanity has been sacrificed on the altar of greed. We have been reduced to mere resources, existing only to serve the elite corporate ‘person.’ The once noble employment is now exploitation.
“And while the reality of employment is different for those with college degrees and the rest of us, the conflicts are not between blue-collar and white or any other alleged duality.
“Our real work, therefore, is not labor devoted to jobs and careers but rather coming to terms with the complexities of daily life. These conflicts are between and among those who confuse the use of force with having power over us, those who have it and those who want it, those who don’t have it, and those wanting nothing to do with it.
“The big lie is that there’s more to life than working and making money. There’s only life. Are you going to live it on your terms, or theirs?”
From what I read I like the intensity with wich you write. The logic is crystal clear and deffinatley urges me to look at things a little differently. Well done.
