Last Good Job in America - Work and Education in the New Global Technoculture

Informationen zum Autor By Stanley Aronwitz Klappentext Despite high employment, low wages and job insecurity leave many families at or below the poverty line. The career instability previously experienced mostly by blue-collar workers has spread to middle managers and high-level executives caught in the rapid movement of capital and technologies. In light of these facts and the anxiety about employment prevalent in our society, Aronowitz argues for a new social contract between employers and workers. Zusammenfassung In this text! Stanley Aronowitz argues for the decline of "the job" as the backbone of American society. New economic and global technological changes have enabled an emerging culture of cynicism between workers and their employers that threatens social stability and well-being.
