Guy Standing argues that this class is producing instabilities in society. Although it would be wrong to characterise members of the Precariat as victims, many are frustrated and angry. The Precariat is dangerous because it is internally divided, leading to the villainisation of migrants and other vulnerable groups. Lacking agency, its members may be susceptible to the siren calls of political extremism. To prevent a 'politics of inferno', Guy Standing argues for a 'politics of paradise', in which redistribution and income security are reconfi gured in a new kind of Good Society, and in which the fears and aspirations of the Precariat are made central to a progressive strategy."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aCasual labor 606 $aMinimum wage 606 $aPrecarious employment 606 $2Sociology: work & labour 615 0$aCasual labor. 615 0$aMinimum wage. 615 0$aPrecarious employment. 615 7 676 $a331.554 700 $aStanding$b Guy$0123212 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214901403316 996 $aPrecariat$919068 997 $aUNISA
