Synopsis
In this long-awaited book, Ursula Huws brings together the results of decades of prescient research on labour market transformation to provide an authoritative overview of the impacts of technological, economic, social and political change on working life in the 21st century.
Placing current upheavals in global labour markets firmly in their historical context, she debunks myths about the impacts of artificial intelligence on labour, pointing to the processes whereby new employment is created, as well as old jobs destroyed, while never underestimating the contradictory impacts of digitalisation on work organisation, resistance, adaption and innovation.
This book is underpinned by a clear conceptual framework, that analyses the dynamics of the restructuring of capitalism and labour, taking full account of unpaid social reproductive work, and integrating a feminist analysis whilst also pointing to new forms of commodification that will shape the future. Labour in Contemporary Capitalism will be an invaluable resource and point of reference for students and scholars studying the sociology of labour, economic structures, technology, and globalisation.

Review
“Drawing on decades of research, including statistical analysis, surveys, case studies and numerous interviews, Labour in Contemporary Capitalism: What next? traces the interaction of technological change with capital and labour from the industrial revolution to the most recent digital technologies and online platforms. A very useful typology of labour enables the author to examine transformations in every facet of life, including reproductive and creative labour. A must-read for anyone interested in the future of work!” (Rohini Hensman is an independent scholar, activist and author, her most recent book being Indefensible: Democracy, Counterrevolution and the Rhetoric of Anti-Imperialism (2018))
