“This book provides valuable critical insights into how market fundamentalism contributes to a three-pronged crisis of economy, pandemic and climate destruction, that impacts a crisis of work” Tony Dobbins, University of Birmingham
“This book is a ‘must read’ about how our working lives are shaped by economic, climate and health crises. It offers some hope for shaping a future that delivers better outcomes for all.” Melanie Simms, University of Glasgow
