Maggiori informazioni sul libro
We live in a time where obedience is considered a relic of the past. We tend to see ourselves as free agents who can voluntary enter our personal relationships, family arrangements—and jobs—without being bound to them for life or subject to someone else’s authority.The labor contract that we all enter in order to earn a living is essentially an agreement of obedience in exchange for wages. But as psychologist Stanley Milgram—the instigator of the famous “electric shock” experiments—discovered in the 1960s, obedience relies on free will. What neoliberalism has done is to camouflage obedience by reifying the labor contract as an undisputed part of the world.In The Disobedient Society, Mat Little investigates the historical evolution of obedience, how increasing material abundance threatens the labor contract, and what a disobedient society might look like.
