The Right to Be Lazy (French: Le Droit à la paresse) is a book by Paul Lafargue, published in 1883.
This delusion drags in its train the individual and social woes which for two centuries have tortured sad humanity.
Instead of opposing this mental aberration, the priests, the economists and the moralists have cast a sacred halo over work.
"[1] According to Lafargue, it is sheer madness that people are fighting for the right to an eight-hour working day.
This would leave a large part of the day for the things we really want to do, such as to spend time with friends, relax, enjoy life, and be lazy.
