This is an important book. Citizen's Income Newsletter Guy Standing provides an incisive account of how precariousness is becoming the new normality in globalised labour markets, and offers important guidelines for all concerned to build a more just society. Richard Hyman, London School of Economics, UK This important and original book brings out the political dangers, so clear in contemporary America, of failing to address the insecurities of the Precariat. It also suggests the way forward: a reconstruction of the concept of work. Eileen Applebaum, Center for Economic and Policy Research, Washington DC, USA Over 90% of workers in India are informal, poorly paid, without any economic security. Guy Standing combines vision with practicality in outlining policies that are urgently needed to provide security to workers such as these around the world. Renana Jhabvala, Self-Employed Women's Association of India Standing has produced a well-informed and important book investigating, for the first time in a comprehensive way, the direction in which global economic security is moving in the 21st century. The book is packed with statistics presented in a very readable form and drawing on extensive published research. It is a compelling account of economic insecurity...

Kurzbeschreibung

Neo-liberal policies and institutional changes have produced a huge and growing number of people with sufficiently common experiences to be called an emerging class. In this book Guy Standing introduces what he calls 'The Precariat' - a growing number of people across the world living and working precariously, usually in a series of short-term jobs, without recourse to stable occupational identities or careers, stable social protection or protective regulations relevant to them. They include migrants, but also locals. Standing argues that this class of people could produce new instabilities in society. They are increasingly frustrated and dangerous because they have no voice, and hence they are vulnerable to the siren calls of extreme political parties. He outlines a new kind of good society, with more people actively involved in civil society and the precariat re-engaged. He goes on to consider one way to a new better society - an unconditional basic income for everyone, contributed by the state, which could be topped up through earned incomes. This is a topical, and a radical book, which will appeal to a broad market concerned by the increasing problems of labour insecurity and civic disengagement.

A rare case of academics being ahead of the public 2. Oktober 2011

Von JC - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon best�tigter Kauf

Guy Standing is the very model of the temperate, discrete and research-oriented UK professoriat. But his book's genius is the laser-like light he shines onto what we see happening around us.

The public discourse of 'recovery' with its nostalgic sense of hoping to get back to things as they were is shown to be utterly out of touch with what is actually happening - most importantly to the youth whose efforts we hoped would support us in our declining years as well as carry us forward into the more competitive future.

Standing makes it clear there will be no going back. The framing here is matched by the situation in Europe - where no going back is possible either. Standing shows the conditions of work and politics are subtly and brutally related - and likewise related to the slowly clarifying crisis of American democracy. Our precariat - such as the Occupy Wall-street movement - still lacks name, identity and focus, just as the European precariat is still a movement or class in the making. But Standing shows that - most importantly - the impulse is not an easily dismissed resurgence of privileged student neo-Marxism. Something fundamentally new is happening.

Anyone wanting think seriously about where we go from here, rather than scream inanities at each other in the way those in Washington DC do, will find powerful angles and levers in this fine example of how the best academic work serve the public as they seek to grapple with their anxieties. It is a book in the tradition of Hobbes and Hume, or even Paine.

Beware of banks and politicians 16. Oktober 2011

Von Andrew Czaplicki - Ver�ffentlicht auf Amazon.com

One of the best books I have read, changing my all thinking about the future of the world. It loks like the October revolution (Russia 1917) is coming again and what we currently see is just the introduction to the changes we can't predict
