Description

"Social theory has largely abandoned a focus on labor and with it its empirical foundation, while the sociology of work has neglected the production of theory more generally. It is for precisely this reason that Capitalism and labor has become a standard work on this subject. Labor and employment relations have become both increasingly diverse as well as less secure while, at the same time, labor and distributional struggles are being waged ever more fiercely. Adequately grasping these changes requires innovative impulses emerging from the analysis of capitalism, just as the sociology of work has a lot to contribute to the former. In this translated and updated edition the authors discuss current theoretical approachers in an attempt to once again conceive capitalism and labor together"--Back cover.
