"Do we live to work or work to live? The question of how important work is in our lives is central to Hunnicutt's study of Kellogg's daring social experiment, which began in 1930 and lasted until 1985... [I]t could serve as a wake up call for a nation in big trouble if the jobless future comes to pass." --Publishers Weekly "This valuable case study should speed a rethinking of the glorification of paid labor." --New York Times Book Review
