Work -- paid, unpaid, voluntary, or obligatory -- is woven into the fabric of all human societies. For many of us, it becomes part of our identity. For others it is a tedious necessity. Living is problematic without paid work, and for many it is catastrophic.Steve Fineman tells the fascinating story of work - how we strive for security, reward, and often, meaning. Looking at how we classify 'work'; the cultural and social factors that influence the way we work; the ethics of certain types of work; and the factors that will affect the future of work, from globalization to technology, this Very Short Introduction considers work as a concept and as a practical experience, drawing upon ideas from psychology, sociology, management, and social history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51675918008608,"sku":"NEW0199699364","price":15.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51pTaf1nhyL.jpg?v=1779226456","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/work-a-very-short-introduction-very-short-introductions-0199699364","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
