Work : a critique
Vallas, Steven Peter
This book provides a critical overview of the myriad literatures on "work," viewed not only as a product of the marketplace but also as a social and political construct. Drawing on theoretical and empirical contributions from sociology, history, economics, and organizational studies, the book brings together perspectives that too often remain balkanized, using each to explore the nature of work today. Outlining the fundamental principles that unite social science thinking about work, Vallas offers an original discussion of the major theoretical perspectives that inform work.
Abstract: * Provides a concise overview of how work is understood and defined, both as a concrete aspect of economic life, but also its social and political meanings. * Draws on theoretical and empirical contributions from a broad range of disciplines, from sociology to history, from economics to organizational studies.
