AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Sally Olds’s essay collection, People who Lunch: Essays on work, leisure & loose living, deals primarily with worlds, or subcultures, on the margins of society. Each holds within it a kernel of hope for a different way of living: club culture with its embrace of hedonism and rejection of living-to-work; cryptocurrency’s promise of financial returns outside state-regulated markets and wage labour; polyamory’s attempts to break free of the stultifying nuclear family unit. None, however, has managed to pose any serious threat to the existing order and most have come to live comfortably within or alongside capitalism.' (Introduction)
