Changes in production and consumption fundamentally transformed the
culture of work in the industrial world during the century after
World War I. In the aftermath of the war, the drive to create new
markets and rationalize work management engaged new strategies of
advertising and scientific management, deploying new workforces
increasingly tied to consumption rather than production. These
changes affected both the culture of the workplace and the home, as
the gendered family economy of the modern worker struggled with the
vagaries of a changing gendered labour market and the inequalities
that accompanied them. This volume draws on illustrative cases to
highlight the uneven development of the modern culture of work over
the course of the long 20th century. A Cultural History of Work in
the Modern Age presents an overview of the period with essays on
economies, representations of work, workplaces, work cultures,
technology, mobility, society, politics and leisure.
