Publisher's Note
A cultural and historical history of the American attitude toward work and its avoidance cites the pivotal contributions of the Industrial Revolution in the formation of the modern work ethic, evaluating the divergence between "worker" and "slacker" stereotypes while citing the observations and examples of such figures as Oscar Wilde, Benjamin Franklin, and Jack Kerouac.

Industry Reviews
"Rather than focus exclusively on what we think of as the modern slacker...[Tom Lutz] delves into the rich history of slackers past, while exploring his own and society's complex attitudes toward work and leisure. Like Lutz's brilliant study of weeping, CRYING: A NATURAL AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF TEARS, it's a highly intelligent, stimulatingly eclectic and impressively learned book."
