work is a task accomplished with one’s comrades. Even with the kind of work that would seem to be undertaken on one’s own—for example, that of a painter—there are always cooperators. The people who make the paints and paintbrushes, the people who make the canvases and easels and then the purchasers at the art dealer. There is no such thing as work that can come into being without connections with other people and without cooperation.
