What Do We Know and What Should We Do About The Future of Work? is part of a new book series offering short, up-to-date overviews of key issues often misrepresented or simplified in the mainstream media.

Simms’ intelligent delve into the labour market and its economic effects is an excellent summary of why and how we workBut it also points out some unexpected truths – that most people work in the same way they would have 50 years ago, for example, or that the car wash industry demonstrates automation is far from inevitable.   -- People Management magazine
