Reclaiming Work: Beyond the Wage-Based Society
Andre Gorz
Overview
Andre Gorz argues that Fordist societies have given way to 'non-societies', in which a tiny dominant stratum has grabbed most of the surplus wealth. He claims that we are in the grip of a new system which is abolishing work as we know it and restoring the worst forms of exploitation. But he argues that we should fight not against the destruction of work itself, but against efforts to perpetuate the ideology of work as a source of rights.
André Gorz is one of the leading social and political thinkers of our time, and is the author of many books, including Critique of Economic Reason, Farewell to the Working Class and Paths to Paradise.
