Description: World Beyond Work? : Labour, Money and the Capitalist State Between Crisis and Utopia, Paperback by Dinerstein, Ana Cecilia; Pitts, Frederick Harry, ISBN 1787691462, ISBN-13 9781787691469, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The authors examine the emergence of the radical left agenda focused on the promise of a post-work society, which involves the reduction of working hours, the implementation of a universal basic income, and a transition into post-capitalism through the automation of production. They draw on the ideas of Karl Marx in the context of concepts like value, money, and the state to discuss the historical, political, economic, and geographical context for current claims about automation that underpin radical thinking on the possibilities of contemporary capitalism, as well as claims about the impacts of automation on the future of work, how this has been used by the left to envision a post-work society, and the issue of how technology is granted an autonomous quality. They also detail their approach to work and labor in capitalist society and how it differs from how these categories are typically understood within Marxism and post-work and post-capitalist thinking. They discuss universal basic income in terms of value, money, and the state, including the example of India; the implications of the concept of labor power for understanding life under capitalism and the struggles needed to create an alternative; and the example of the Unemployed Workers Organisations in Argentina in the context of a concrete utopia.
