Work Want Work by Mareile Pfannebecker
How the logic of work has crept into everything we do, even as we articulate post-capitalist and post-work possibilities
A fascinating review of the state of play – and work – in contemporary societyPfannebecker and Smith have produced a little gem of an alternative future; stop "working" and read it! * Keith Grint, The University of Warwick *
Combining an unprecedented overview of contemporary paradoxes in the politics of anti-work with a fresh and sophisticated argument for a liberatory post-capitalist horizon predicated on sharing limits, Work, Want, Work is a marvellously compact, well-written, informative and thoughtful book. * Sophie Lewis, author of Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family *
Excellent – a much needed reflection on contemporary work from a quite different perspective. * Nik Srnicek, co-author of Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work *
