Reclaiming Work cover

Over the last twenty-five years, Western societies have been reversing into the future.

'It is to Gorz...(excellently translated by Chris Turner), that readers should turn for a compelling combination of sharp analysis, well wrought polemic, and suggestions for the future.' Red Pepper

'The author successfully combines a thorough analysis of recent development of work with a vision of a transformation of society.' British Journal of Industrial Relations

'Gorz maps out a proposed path to a better world of work, in which work would combine elements of creativity, play, community service, self-provision, and caring, all loosely linked in a life of "multi-activity" ... This sounds far indeed from the world of work we know. But, Gorz argues, the current economy - not some far-distant future - holds the potential for this utopia.' Work, Organizations, and Markets
