Twenty years into the 21st century, most people in the west want to have a job that they love. And, vice versa, we expect that this love – our inspiration, devotion and care – will provide us with deep fulfillment, even satisfaction with who we are as individuals and how we lead our lives.
Yet very often the opposite happens: the “love what you do” principle supports the exploitation and devaluation of labour, as well as cutting back on social protection and welfare guarantees. You can love your work, but as US labour journalist Sarah Jaffe reminds us in her new book, it won’t love you back.

The politics of everyday life: leisure Work is more intertwined with the rest of our lives than ever. To truly enjoy free time, we must be able to let go of “the realm of necessity”.
By Sarah Jaffe When I met Chuckie Denison in 2019, he’d just taken early retirement from General Motors. I was in Ohio to report on the closing of the storied Lordstown factory, where Denison and thousands of others had made cars and which, in the 1960s and 1970s, had a history of rank-and-file rebellion. Denison aimed to keep that spirit alive in his retirement, but he was also thinking about free time more expansively.
