Reviews
A fascinating review of the state of play - and work - in contemporary society. Pfannebecker and Smith have produced a little gem of an alternative future; stop "working" and read it! * Keith Grint, The University of Warwick *
Combining an unprecedented overview of contemporary paradoxes in the politics of anti-work with a fresh and sophisticated argument for a liberatory post-capitalist horizon predicated on sharing limits, Work, Want, Work is a marvellously compact, well-written, informative and thoughtful book. * Sophie Lewis, author of Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family *
Excellent - a much needed reflection on contemporary work from a quite different perspective. * Nik Srnicek, co-author of Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work *
