I used to have my freshmen composition classes read Bob Black. Was always interesting, but often hard for some students to see the difference between work, the stuff that gets done, and work, the social construct. I think it's good for everyone to think about the ways in which the latter is alienating (in the Marxist sense) and exploitive, even (maybe esp.) if you're not an anarchist.
