Service Workers in the Era of Monopoly Capital: A Marxist Analysis of Service and Retail Labour: Studies in Critical Social Sciences / New Scholarship in Political Economy, cartea 202/12
Autor Fabian van Onzenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 oct 2021
Van Onzen argues that the key to ending the exploitation of service workers is through the socialist transformation of society. The book contains an examination of what service work will be like under socialism and provides examples of how former socialist countries changed the nature of service labour. Service Workers in the Era of Monopoly Capital is an important addition to Marxist theory, which is still somewhat lacking in detailed accounts of the service and retail industry.
