Envisioning Education in a Post-Work Leisure-Based Society is written by Eugene Matusov and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3030463737 (ISBN 10) and 9783030463731 (ISBN 13).

This book is both an analytic and imaginative study of the future role of education in a leisure-based society. Grounded in a philosophical approach that draws on the work of Aristotle, Arendt, Keynes, and others, the volume deconstructs modern work-based society, as well as mainstream institutionalized education, which the author argues have systemically alienated students from their education, authorial agency, and society itself. The author argues for the value of intrinsic education, where the goals are based on students' own needs and interests, imagining new opportunities that can arise from the emergence of such a society.
