Description
James Suzman's 'Work: A History of How We Spend Our Time' offers a fascinating exploration of how our understanding of work has evolved over time. From its origins in the natural world to its current role as a central organisational principle of society, this book challenges our assumptions about what work means and how it shapes our lives.
Through a comprehensive history of humankind, Suzman examines how work has transformed our bodies, environments, social status, and sense of time. He asks why, despite material abundance, we are working more than ever before, and what this says about our values and priorities.
This thought-provoking book is an illuminating look at the complex relationship between work and society, and how it has shaped us into the people we are today.
