Billions of men and women depend exclusively on their labour to survive and encounter increasingly unstable, precarious or casual workers and the unemployed. As the contingent of workers has grown, there have been a vast reduction in jobs, rights have been corroded and the gains of the past have been eroded. The Meanings of Work starts with a wider conception of work and seeks to understand this new condition of labour today.Historical Materialism Book Series43.Labor movementHistory20th centuryLabor movementHistory21st centuryLaborHistory20th centuryLaborHistory21st centuryLabor movementHistoryLabor movementHistoryLaborHistoryLaborHistory306.36335.412Antunes Ricardo1953-311835MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820398103321The meanings of work3926519UNINA
