توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
این کتاب مروری انتقادی از ادبیات بیشمار درباره «کار» ارائه میکند، که نه تنها بهعنوان محصول بازار بلکه بهعنوان یک ساختار اجتماعی و سیاسی در نظر گرفته میشود. این کتاب با تکیه بر مشارکتهای نظری و تجربی جامعهشناسی، تاریخ، اقتصاد و مطالعات سازمانی، دیدگاههایی را گرد هم میآورد که اغلب بالکانیشده باقی میمانند و از هر کدام برای کشف ماهیت کار امروزی استفاده میکنند. والاس با تشریح اصول بنیادی که تفکر علوم اجتماعی در مورد کار را متحد می کند، بحثی اصلی از دیدگاه های نظری اصلی که کار را آگاه می کند، ارائه می دهد. ادامه مطلب... چکیده:
