“The abolition of work does not mean the abolition of the need for effort, the desire for activity, the pleasure of creation, the need to cooperate with others and be of some use to the community…
The abolition of work means the freeing or liberation of time. Freeing time — so that individuals can exercise control over their bodies, their use of themselves, their choice of activity, their goals and productions — represents a demand that has been translated in a regrettably reductive way by the phrase 'the right to idleness'.
The demand to 'work less' does not mean or imply the right to 'rest more', but the right to 'live more'. It means the right to do many more things for ourselves than money can buy — and even to do some of the things which money at present can buy.”
