Helen Hester and Will Stronge
Rezensionen
I have waited a decade for a book like this to come along. With wide-eyed clarity, Hester and Stronge give the field of 'post-work' the extended treatment and advancement it deserves. Bridging philosophy, labour history and policy debates, the book becomes more than a resource: it is a call for fresh forms of political intervention in a world where work is not working. David Frayne, Author of The Refusal of Work (2015)
