Description
Do We Have to Work? explores how our relationship with work is changing in response to technological, economic and environmental shifts.
The author examines how the meaning, status and structure of work have evolved across history and societies, and argues that we are approaching a new era of work. He considers factors such as universal basic income, the zero- or low-cost economy, and self-employment, and suggests that these changes could lead to a more fundamental shift in our understanding of work.
This book invites readers to rethink their assumptions about work and its place in modern life, and to consider what it might mean for us to live our best lives together. With the potential for working less and working better on the horizon, Do We Have to Work? is a thought-provoking exploration of the future of work.
