OverviewIn this study of labour and unemployment in the post-industrial world, the author argues that changes in the role of the work and labour process in the closing decades of the 20th century have weakened the power of skilled industrial workers. Their place has been taken by social movements, such as the women's movement and the green movement, and also by all those who refuse to accept the work ethic so fundamental to early capitalist societies.
