Gigged Zusammenfassung

Gigged: The Gig Economy, the End of the Job and the Future of Work Sarah Kessler

_______
'An excellent book.' Martin Wolf, Financial Times Books of the Year
_______

The full-time job is disappearing. Today more workers than ever are going freelance - driving for Uber or cycling for Deliveroo, developing software or consulting for investment banks. Welcome to the gig economy.

In Gigged, Sarah Kessler meets the people forging this new world of unorthodox employment: from the computer programmer who chooses exactly which hours he works each week, via the Uber driver who is trying to convince his peers to unionise, to the charity worker who thinks freelance gigs might just transform the fortunes of a declining rural town.

Their stories raise crucial questions about the future of work. What happens when job security, holidays and benefits become a thing of the past? How can freelancers find meaningful, well-paid employment? And could the gig economy really change the world of work for ever?



*Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award*

Gigged Bewertungen

What does working in the new gig economy of flexibility combined with insecurity feel like? This excellent book by the journalist Sarah Kessler will help those who have no experience of this way of earning a living appreciate the answer. This new labour market offers a measure of freedom and opportunity. But it also does not allow people to make the plans they need if they are to lead a fulfilled life. Reform must come. -- Martin Wolf, Books of the Year * Financial Times *
Kessler illuminates a great divide: For people with desirable skills, the gig economy often permits a more engaging, entrepreneurial lifestyle; but for the unskilled who turn to such work out of necessity, it's merely 'the best of bad options.' * Harvard Business Review *
Kessler's timely book explores the personal, corporate and societal stories behind a massive tech-driven shift away from permanent office-based employment. -- Books of the Month * Financial Times *
Silicon Valley is turning work into a frictionless transaction between buyer and seller, says the author of this provocative new volume . . . Read it because the gig economy affects everyone - employers, employees and consumers. -- Book of the Month * Harper's Bazaar *
A clear-eyed and illuminating book. * San Francisco Chronicle *
A deep look at . . . our civilization based on work - and what's so often unsatisfying about living in it. * Washington Post *
Argued convincingly * Fortune *
A fair-minded analysis of the ever-morphing worldwide labour force * Kirkus Reviews *
Sarah Kessler has a good claim to have been there at the beginning of a truly revolutionary moment: the start of the thing we now call the gig economy . . . Gigged does a valuable service in tracking the twists and turns of the workers of the gig economy. -- City AM
Well crafted . . . a multitude of anecdotes supported by data and extensive reporting. * Forbes *
