Have you bought into corporate hegemony?, April 19, 2000
This review is from: Idle Hands and Empty Hearts: Work and Freedom in the United States (Hardcover)
Why do we work? Neala Schleuning explores the traditional reasons why we work and how today's workplace meets those reasons. The answers are disturbing. She discusses corporate hegemony which overshadows the rest of our culture. Our society is focused on making money for corporations and for ourselves. Our community focus has been reduced or even lost. Her recommendations are focused on redefining our thinking about how we make money and how we think about our economy. She also discusses how we might alter our consuming habits to have a more environmental responsible world. You will agree with parts of the book and disagree with the other parts, but you will think along the line. You probably will think about how you would like to shape your work and life
