Shop Class as Soulcraft

Matthew B. Crawford, 2009

A philosopher-mechanic on the dignity of skilled, hands-on work.

Talk about it

  1. What dignity does skilled, hands-on work offer that office work can lack?
  2. Have you ever fixed or made something that gave you the feeling Crawford describes?
  3. Should schools treat the trades differently? How?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
