Work, Consumerism and the New Poor Quotes

“As Werner Sombart commented, the new factory system needed part-humans: soulless little wheels in a complex mechanism. The battle was waged against the other, now useless, ‘human parts’ – human interests and
ambitions irrelevant for productive effort and needlessly interfering with the parts deployed in production. The work ethic was, basically, about the surrender of freedom.”
― Zygmunt Bauman, Work, Consumerism and the New Poor
