Summary

A dynamic study examining where the sociology of work has come from and where it is likely to go next. The 'classical' accounts of Karl Marx, Max Webster and Emile Durkheim, the post-industrial accounts of the 1960s and 1970s, and the post-Fordist accounts of the 1980s and 1990s are all explored, together with key topics such as technological change and 'flexibility', the impact of gender on work and the changing relationship between work and personal identity.
