César

Born in 1927 in Yuma, Arizona, César Chavez lived the hard-scrabble life of a migrant worker during the Depression. Although his mother wanted him to get an education, César left school after eighth grade to work.

En su libro Paul Lafargue plasma claramente sus reflexiones contra el fervor por el trabajo, la productividad, y el crecimiento económico fanático que mostraban tanto la derecha como la izquierda.
