A compelling and impassioned defence of the amateur ethos. We often decry amateurism, yet one can do things for the love of it rather than for money. It can also show that an economic system which has more voluntary, unpaid activity is a more efficient system. This work examines amateurism's rationale, its history, ethics and economics.
