What's Wrong with Work?

It's no secret that the nature of work itself has changed significantly in recent years. What's Wrong with Work? looks at three increasingly important types of labor--ranging from IT jobs to environmental work to the rise of the gig economy--with a particular focus on issues of gender, race, and class. Pettinger examines what these jobs mean within current neoliberal frameworks and theorizes their futures in a world of rising automation and potential ecological catastrophe. Accessible and engaging, What's Wrong with Work? ultimately argues for our collective responsibility to address and rectify unfair and inhumane working conditions.
