Willing Slaves: How the Overwork Culture Is Ruling Our Lives by Madeleine Bunting

2.0

Not sure why I picked this up from the table at the Unconvention when I have already done the opting out it suggests, at least to a certain extent. It explores the overwork culture which it claims is a product of the last thirty years or so and lays at the door of companies out for profit. There are lots of examples and descriptions of lifestyles and jobs that have become even more prevalent in the nearly ten years since it was written and were again in the news at the time I was (slowly) reading it. Maybe it is because it is no longer new that I thought it was over-simplistic and repetitive and didn't enjoy reading it.
