Synopsis

Aesop's well-known fable of The Ant and The Grasshopper - the industrious ant and the carefree musical grasshopper - has long been a favorite of conservative commentators. They love the toiling ant and hate the unemployed grasshopper. This short book is a critical examination of the conception of life, work, responsibility and art that is expressed by the conservative fable. That conception does not stand up under critical scrutiny.
