| Résumé: | The dream of living without working is the result of a multisituated ethnography in which its author, the Argentine sociologist Daniel Fridman, analyses the lives of people who consume financial self-help products. The book’s goal is to analyze financial self-help and how, based on it, its consumers construct themselves as economical subjects by means of acting upon their emotions, practices, and ways of thinking. This review briefly reflects on the methodological strategy and theoretical framework of the book and centers itself on the economical, emotional, and sociological elements that compose financial self-help. The review closes with comments on how to use Fridman’s work to create questions that motivate new research projects.
