Reviews
A wide-ranging, nuanced sociological inquiry into the nature of contemporary work. * Choice *
A vast and ambitious work, which is inscribed in a great tradition of theoretical and critical sociology. * Le Monde *
This magnificent book is the sociology of a whole generation which capitalism caught on the wrong foot. In more than 800 pages which one devours like a great novel, the book furnishes new weapons for the renewal of the Left. * Liberation *
This book will no doubt come to be regarded as a contemporary classic of political economy and political sociology. * Political Studies Review *
Ambitious and fascinating. * Le Nouvel Observateur *
A wonderful book. -- William Davies, author of The Happiness Industry
This massive book is an astonishing combination - an ideological and cultural analysis, a socio-historical narrative, an essay in political economy, and a bold piece of engaged advocacy ... a dizzying theoretical tour. * New Left Review *
A monumental work ... it has become a key reference point in many discussions of the culture of contemporary capitalism and the politics of neoliberalism. -- Jeremy Gilbert, author of Common Ground
