Read and love it. I myself am one of those who believed in the duty to work. I was raised that way. I still believe that work is everyone's duty to themselves and others but I also know that we were not meant to spend our lives toiling away in some factory or office to barely survive so someone else can spend their time assuring their own laziness. I'm not sure if 4 hours of work is still enough considering population growth or if it's all relative but I still think this has much merit in today's world.
