Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In five essays, followed by extensive notes and bibliographies, Ivan Illich embarks on a major historical and sociological analysis of modern mans economic existence. He traces and analyzes options which surpass the conventional political right-left and the technological soft-hard alternatives and presents the concept of the vernacular domain: to name those acts of competence, lust or concern that we want to defend from measurement by Chicago Boys or Socialist Commissarsthe preparation of food and the shaping of language, childbirth and recreation, without implying either a privatized activity akin to the housework of modern women, a hobby or an irrational and primitive procedure. Illich deals provocatively with the controlling uses of language and science and the valuation of women and work. Drawing on unfamiliar historical sources, he lays bare the roots of much of the social ordering which affects industrial man: his own creation, but one which, at the same time, connives at his own oppression. Combines historical and economic perspectives to examine the economic existence of modern man, the war against subsistence, and shadow work--the underpaid work which is unique to an industrial economy.
