One of my favorite essays of all time. It's pretty popular among leftists for being such a great argument against the work culture that dominates the US. As someone who knew what a 12 hour work day was at the age of 11 and watched his parents toil to make it through each week, it spoke to me. Bertrand Russell, in general, is pretty awesome actually.
