Lafargue Paul

    Paul Lafargue, un socialista marxista revolucionario francés, es célebre por su obra "El derecho a la pereza". En ella, aboga no solo por el derecho al trabajo, sino también por el derecho a la ociosidad, desafiando la obsesión predominante por la labor. Lafargue observa críticamente la paradoja de que los esclavos africanos pudieran haber vivido en mejores circunstancias que los trabajadores europeos, instando a una reevaluación de los valores centrados en el trabajo.

    The Right to be Lazy
    • Paul Lafargue's masterpiece, The Right To Be Lazy, at once funny and serious, witty and profound, elegant and forceful, is a logical expansion of The Right to the Pursuit of Happiness announced by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. It was not only extremely popular but also brought about pragmatic results, inspiring the movement for the eight-hour day and equal pay for men and women who perform equal work. It survives as one of the very few pieces of writing to come out of the international socialist movement of the nineteenth century that is not only readable-even enjoyable-but pertinent. This new translation by Len Bracken, fuller than previous versions in English, is supplemented by Lafargue's little-known talk on The Intellectuals.
