'Normal' is a flexible category that is always ripe for reinvention'- David FayneThis was a nostalgic read because it reminded me of the sociology books I read at the university. It also felt like a revolutionary act because the most simplistic description of the contents of this book sound like a communist manifesto.What a great book! Solid research, sound arguments, accessible language - though it was a bit of a drag to get into thanks to the heavy theory.The central argument is a critique 'Normal' is a flexible category that is always ripe for reinvention'- David FayneThis was a nostalgic read because it reminded me of the sociology books I read at the university.

While the interviews are interesting, they seem too limited in scope to allow much by way of deeper analysis.Overall, the book offers the reader a good starting point for framing 32nd book for 2018.I found this a fairly light, but interesting read questioning the underlying assumptions about the need for work as an economic, moral, and self-affirming activity within our society.A significant part of the book is devoted to the analysis of interviews with unemployed or minimally employed people.
While the interviews are interesting, they seem too limited in scope to allow much by way of deeper analysis.Overall, the book offers the reader a good starting point for framing issues relating to work and it's importance to individuals and society.4-stars. A very interesting read and a mostly timely book. A challenge to society's dominant narrative that work is both good for us and necessary. Frayne makes the important distinction between work as an economic activity and tasks, that are performed creatively or in order to mutually support one another.If you're disillusioned with your bullshit underpaid job, then you'll find much to ponder here.

Frayne makes the important distinction between work as an economic activity and tasks, that are performed creatively or in order to mutually support one another.If you're disillusioned with your bullshit underpaid job, then you'll find much to ponder here. In a way, the refusal of work is a direct action of sorts but how do individuals survive outside the system? Frayne has spent much time interviewing his subjects and finds that mutual support from other 'idlers' is necessary as well as the inner belief necessary to take the initial step away from working full-time.
He reflects that many he interviews are constrained by their own perspectives on how society views them, as well as the force applied directly by society itself.Should be read by everyone, especially the workaholics and those that cling to their job for the status it brings them. The perfect partner to Kathi Weeks - The Problem with Work. Being relatively new to discussions around the sociology of work, I found this book extremely well written. It is intelligently articulated, while remaining inclusive to a wider audience. Frayne signposts arguments presented in an objective manner.Though I enjoyed the first four chapters, I found the theory laboursome and heavily referenced.
This was balanced by Frayne's analysis of interviews in chapters five through seven.I most enjoyed chapter eight, in which we finally begin to see Frayne's Being relatively new to discussions around the sociology of work, I found this book extremely well written.

This was balanced by Frayne's analysis of interviews in chapters five through seven.I most enjoyed chapter eight, in which we finally begin to see Frayne's personal position, and are offered tangible, practical ways to join the conversation.Overall, really helpful as an introduction to the subject for my own research. Everybody should be free to refuse to work. Only that does not imply that everybody else should support the ones who refuse to work. To make things even more displeasing, it is the societies coming from Frayne's part of the political spectrum that have created the Gulag, and not the societies against which Frayne militates. And everything is thrown in for the sake of emotion. Even ecology.

Inspiring and passionate, was engaging for the most part though it is a shame it is somewhat biased, the research carried out here departs from an evident desire of what it wants to find.
Also it is constructed mainly around pieces from a bunch for previous works on the topic, which don't make this book very valuable by itself, more than as a compendium or summary, if maybe not comprehensive enough (even if a bit repetitive), since leaves some questions in the air.

This is an interesting text since I haven’t thought much myself about the systemic disalienation of your labor as a point of protest. The first chapters of Frayne’s book introduces me to several thinkers I have never heard of, and takes ideas from those who are more familiar, back to old grandfather Karl. But for me the Marxian framework is more about refiguring the ownership of the labor output than direct nonwork.

The first chapters of Frayne’s book introduces me to several thinkers I have never heard of, and takes ideas from those who are more familiar, back to old grandfather Karl. But for me the Marxian framework is more about refiguring the ownership of the labor output than direct nonwork. Frayne goes back to Keynes to show that there was a leisure trade-off that was once thought inevitable that was instead traded for more consumption.The theoretical beginning is interesting, but the book really gained steam when the author talks to people who have removed themselves from the labor force for some kind of idleness or aggressive loafing.

I’m being too facile here, since each person he talks to has their own unique perspective on what they wanted to gain through work and what they want and are enjoying through not work.
