The Cultural Value of Work: Livelihoods and Migration in the World's Economies

David Griffith
4.9/5 (9950 ratings)
Description:Traditional wage labour has experienced a significant decline in industrialised countries over the past few decades. The spread of temporary work, the proliferation of subcontracting arrangements, the use of AI, the shipment of manufacturing jobs overseas, and the employment of foreign contract workers are among the key factors driving this decline. The result is a rise of labour insecurity and fragmentation among increasingly diverse forms of flexible labour arrangements. This book examines this important transformation by considering the impact of foreign contract labour on temporary migrant workers in their places of employment and home communities. It assesses work as a source of value in capitalist, reproductive, domestic, and cultural economics, and argues for a new, work-centric field of economics. Rich in examples, it is a sophisticated anthropological appreciation of the many forms that work can take, and what these forms mean for the creation of value in people's lives.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
