The Utopian Tradition of Work and Play

There are three utopian traditions that one could draw from. One of them is correct and the other two are kind of false paths, he says. The Bacon tradition suggests we can overcome drudgery by transforming work so that it's not work anymore - it's all play. Thomas Moore takes the Aristotelian distinction between necessity and freedom into a universalizable perspective. We have to actually organize work in order to be free together, writes David Frum.
