Black raises some serious problems about work which I feel is still relevant today. In his definition, "work is employment, i. e. wage-labor, which means selling yourself on the installment plan" and it makes a mockery of freedom. He argued that all the economic ideologists we have are all centered around who takes total advantage of the worker but never the happiness of the worker self, so he advocated for play instead. Our societies have been structured to raise obedient people for work, which is instilled in children at home and more of it at school. The result is that people are regimented all their lives, handed off to work from school and bracketed by the family at the beginning, and the nursing home at, in the end, are habituated to hierarchy and psychologically enslaved.
