Abstract: The article investigates the utopian content of past futures of work. In a first step, he develops a systematics of economic utopias. Then he reconstructs the ideas of an end of work of Oscar Wilde, Paul Lafargue and Bertrand Russell and places them in this systematics. By placing the three conceptions of an end of works in the systematics, it becomes possible to uncover their underlying anthropological presuppositions and to make them accessible to a critique. From this it is concluded that ideas which predict a possible end of work on the basis of technical progress are not very convincing because they disregard the ideological obstacles which stand in the way of a reduction of working time.
