Zusammenfassung:
This sociological analysis examines the transformation of labor over the past forty years, challenging the notion of the 'end of work' and the rise of a purely immaterial labor society. The book argues that living labor has not disappeared but has become more precarious, intense, and globally interconnected. It explores the interplay between material and immaterial labor, the global reorganization of the labor market, and the increasing feminization of the workforce. The text also addresses the persistence of labor's centrality in society and the ongoing challenges of labor emancipation in a neoliberal context.
