Sobre o Autor

Paul Lafargue was a French political activist, journalist, and writer, best known for his critical perspectives on capitalism and labor. As a prominent Marxist thinker, he advocated for the rights of workers and the necessity of leisure, famously publishing "The Right to Be Lazy," where he argued that the capitalist work ethic was detrimental to human well-being. His writings emphasized the importance of leisure and the need to reclaim time for personal fulfillment outside of work obligations.

Lafargue's ideas were heavily influenced by his relationship with Karl Marx, whom he admired and supported throughout his life. As the son-in-law of Marx, he was deeply embedded in the intellectual milieu of the time, contributing to discussions on socialism and labor rights in the late 19th century. His works continue to resonate with contemporary discussions on labor conditions and the balance between work and life, making him a significant figure in the history of socialist thought.
