The spirit of disobedience Book

I dogeared a lot of pages in this book, as it has some great things to say about alternate living strategies (not lifestyles), the closeness of left and right in politics, the demands of authority that everyone be either a servant or a commodity producer (of even the most radical thoughts), and of the roles of Art and the Spirit of Disobedience. Curtis White interviews three 'outsiders' at the end, and in this he provides examples of those who are thinking in more healthy ways of our relationship to each other, to Nature, and to our own internal needs. He makes the point over and over that workers have, to some degree, internalized the requirements of their bosses, which it's good to be reminded of.

The interviews at the end, while interesting, remove some of the momentum from this combination of wit, humour, intelligence and spleen, but I can see why he included them. A very good book -- yet another good book by White. Highly recommended.
