A philosophical manifesto against the dictatorship of productivity. The title comes from a line in which Emma Goldman said what anarchism meant to her, and the author, drawing on Paul Lafargue and Hannah Arendt, uses it as the basis for defending policies that protect the parts of life that produce nothing. He argues that rights such as retirement, strikes or idleness are not concessions but forms of resistance, and calls for the public services that make rest possible for everyone.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
