For decades, work has been debated and discussed as a narrow economic category. Instead, Hilary Cottam identifies work as a cultural force at the heart of good lives, strong communities, and a sense of a shared national destiny. Crucially, in these dramatic times, she shows how we can shape this force to meet technological change, our ecological crisis, and the challenges of the world's deep injustices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmbitious but rooted in the ideas of everyday experts - real workers from all walks of life - this is a realistic and hopeful book. Drawing on a fascinating range of sources (historians, trade unionists, business leaders, philosophers, and most originally, hours of her imaginative workshops with workers), Hilary Cottam boldly asks: how can we redesign work?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo valuable\u003c\/b\u003e...\u003cb\u003e Hilary Cottam proposes a bold new vision of what the principles underlying \"good work\" might be\u003c\/b\u003e - MARIANA MAZZUCATO, UCL professor and author of \u003ci\u003eMISSION ECONOMY\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimely\u003c\/b\u003e...\u003cb\u003eguides the changes needed\u003c\/b\u003e - CARLOTA PEREZ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposes what motivates workers today - not the things most business leaders think - and shows how new thinking would benefit us all.
