What's Wrong with Work? Lynne Pettinger

As changes occur in how work is organised across the globe, What's wrong with work shows that how workers are treated has wide implications beyond the lives of workers themselves. Recognising gender, race, class and global differences, the book looks at three kinds of increasingly important work - green work, IT work and the 'gig' economy. It considers the ways formal work is often dependent on informal work, especially domestic work and care work and concludes by considering what might make work better, arguing that there is a collective responsibility to address bad work.

What's Wrong with Work? Bewertungen

Pettinger combines a humanistic concern for workers with an evidence-based analysis of contemporary economic realities to show us a glimpse of work beyond capitalism. Essential reading for students of sociology and business alike. Christopher Land, Anglia Ruskin University'
A smart, compelling, and thoughtful exploration of what work is (and what the definition of work should include) and how it might be made more ethical. Erin Hatton, University at Buffalo
An important, interesting and timely book, that critically examines current transformations in work and employment. ..a useful contribution, particularly around emerging forms of green work, IT work and the 'gig' economy. Andrew Smith, University of Bradford School of Management
In asking us to go beyond the autonomous, independent, rational, self-interested worker, Pettinger furnishes an astounding insight: think of work as care. In the end, work is nothing but a caring and relational engagement with the human and nonhuman world. Isn't individual survival meaningless without collective survival? A. Aneesh, author of Neutral Accent: How Language, Life and Labor Become Global
The world of work is changing rapidly, but established debates around the meaning, purpose and experience of work are not going away, while new questions are stimulated by the developments in green work, AI and robotics that are analysed here by Pettinger. This innovative book provides valuable groundings for modules dealing critically with everyday working lives, globalisation, culture and consumption. Tracey Warren, University of Nottingham
