The Future Of Work: Super-exploitation And Social Precariousness In The 21st Century Summary

The Future Of Work: Super-exploitation And Social Precariousness In The 21st Century: Studies in Critical Social Science Volume 81 by Adrian Sotelo Valencia

This book analyses the processes, mutations and trends currently characterising the world of work that are bound up within the deep contradictions of a global capitalist system troubled by systemic crisis. This is a work that illustrates the paradigmatic transition from social and labour relations based on job security, comprehensive collective agreements and guaranteed social rights, towards new social relations that find their technical, political and organizational roots in job insecurity, work rotation and monumental social insecurity.
