2 - The Organisation of Work
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2021
Summary
‘Work’ in the sense of interest here is a social category. This means that the way work is socially organised is not merely some further external fact about it, but rather is something that needs to be considered in detail. This chapter will have two parts. First, I’ll try to say something about how we, nowadays in Western societies, think about the way work is organised, and then I will discuss some existing historical alternatives to this way of thinking about the organisation of work.
