Why work?

Check out this interesting homepage dedicated to criticism of "work as virtue". "Creating livable alternatives to wage society". Lots of links, text and interesting stuff. Bob Black, an American anarchist, sometimes derided with the epithet of "lifestyle anarchist", is one often-mentioned name here. He has written a manifesto called "The abolish of work" that begins like this: "No one should ever work. Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world." I'll get back to this in due time.
