Work after Globalization by Guy Standing

Work after Globalization by Guy Standing

In this ground-breaking book, Guy Standing offers a new perspective on work and citizenship, rejecting the labourist orientation of the 20th century.

'. . this book is a tour de force, providing a provocative analysis as well as a vision, rooted in normative reflection for a better world to work in. It should be mandatory reading for all students of social policy and industrial relations.' -- Martin Seeleib-Kaiser, Journal of Social Policy
'This is a scholarly and erudite work. . . There is a wealth of detail, all illustrated with plenty of fascinating examples. . . It is impossible to give the full flavour of this thoughtful and stimulating book in even a long review, but it deserves to be widely accessible and read.' -- Citizen's Income
'. . . this is the greatest book ever about work (in all its forms). . . Work after Globalization offers us the kind of foundation we need to launch a new social-democratic program. . . do yourself a favour, don't take my word for it. You need to read this book for yourself. . . If you're ever going to read a book about work, make it this one.' -- Peter Hall-Jones, New Unionism Network
'This is an important book. It shifts emphasis from the role of capital to the creativity of labour in the creation of value in the real economy. A central role is accorded to each and all of the skills and occupations which contribute to the construction of an economy and a civic culture governed by the public interest. Guy Standing has made an original contribution to the validation of human creativity in the economic process. The work owes an acknowledged debt to the vision of Karl Polanyi.' -- Kari Polanyi-Levitt, McGill University, Canada
