What does the future hold for work in our new age of crisis? How do we make sure that the uncertain future into which we are heading is heavenly and not hellish? How can we take the pleasures of work with us and eliminate the pains? The answer: we need a post-work vision. Questioning the received wisdom that work is good for you, that you are what you do and that 'any job is a good job', Post-work offers a new challenge to the work-centred society. This timely book provides a vital introduction to the post-work debate - one of the most exciting political and theoretical currents of recent years. It explores not only what the future of work will be like, but more importantly what the future of work should be like.
Post-Work
In Post-Work, Stanley Aronowitz and Jonathan Cutler have collected essays from a variety of scholars to discuss the dreary future of work. The introduction, The Post-Work Manifesto,, provides the framework for a radical reappraisal of work and suggests an alternative organization of labor. The provocative essays that follow focus on specific issues that are key to our reconceptualization of the notion and practice of work, with coverage of the fight for shorter hours, the relationship between school and work, and the role of welfare, among others. Armed with an interdisciplinary approach, Post-Work looks beyond the rancorous debates around welfare politics and lays out the real sources of anxiety in the modern workplace. The result is an offering of hope for the future--an alternative path for a cybernation, where the possibility of less work for a better standard of living is possible.
