Andre GorzIn books such as Farewell to the Working Class (1982), Paths to Paradise (1985), Critique of Economic Reason (1988), Reclaiming Work (2000) and the as yet untranslated L'Immatériel, Gorz argued that we are in the grip of a system that is abolishing work as we know it: the problem was not the destruction of employment as such, but the new system's irrational efforts to perpetuate the ideology of work as a source of rights - and, most importantly, of the right to an income. Despite Gorz's longstanding links with trade unions, he increasingly looked beyond the traditional Marxian proletariat to implement his "radically reformist" programme, which advocated a mass exodus from the employment relationship and from commodity-based social relations.deliverance by: Andre Gorz mouvements by: Andre Gorz guardian obituaries Andre Gorz As Creators We Imagine We Have No Limits |
