Whether paid or unpaid, free or coerced, full-time, part-time, or zero-hours, work defines us and helps shape our behaviour both on and off the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this accessible book, leading labour economist Bruce Pietrykowski offers a highly engaging exploration of the history and contemporary organisation of work under capitalism. His clear presentation of the theoretical debates is illustrated by real-world examples from across the globe and a skilful account of alternatives that point toward a post-capitalist future. Employing a progressive, worker-centred vision that goes beyond mainstream economics, he examines themes ranging from inequality, care work, and the gig economy to technological change and a universal basic income. His analysis emphasises power, conflict, solidarity, and cooperation, interpreted through the lenses of class, race, gender, and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive and highly readable book, \u003cem\u003eWork\u003c\/em\u003e, will be of interest to students of economics, sociology, labour studies, and politics seeking to learn more about work and workers in the global economy, as well as interested general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433346121964,"sku":"9781509530847","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509530847.jpg?v=1774765100"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/bruce-pietrykowski.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
