Summary
Ivan Illich: Vernacular values
and other essays
Man in modern society finds himself in the midst of an endless abundance of goods, trapped and restrained, powerless to work independently and choose freely. Separated from its sources, it is permanently stranded on the civilizational debris of mechanized consciousness. Therefore, Illich opts for an unfinished and limited native world, finding salvation in individual patterns of life and vernacular values of domestic craftsmanship, an intimate world created to the measure of community, household tools, local dialect. Vernacular values and other essays is a book that brings together Illich's penetrating and erudite analyzes that made him famous as one of the greatest thinkers of our time.

Zanimljiva tema ne baš često obrađivana od strane sociologa o neprofitnom radu u okviru vlastitog doma koje je čovjeka oslobodilo i formiralo možda više nego institucionalni pojam rada.Za preporuku.
