How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic against Workers and How Workers Can Take It Back

Beschreibung

This sweeping history of classical economics shows how the work ethic has been used both to oppress workers and to liberate them. Today's neoliberalism offers an oppressive version of the work ethic. However, the work ethic also offers resources for reorganizing the economy on behalf of ordinary people.
