Critical Social Theory and the End of Work examines the development
and sociological significance of the idea that work is being
eliminated through the use of advanced production technology.
Granter's engagement with the work of key American and European
figures such as Marx, Marcuse, Gorz, Habermas and Negri, focuses
his arguments for the abolition of labour as a response to the
current socio-historical changes affecting our work ethic and
consumer ideology. By combining history of ideas with social
theory, this book considers how the 'end of work' thesis has
developed and has been critically implemented in the analysis of
modern society. This book will appeal to scholars of sociology,
history of ideas, social and cultural theory as well as those
working in the fields of critical management and sociology of work.
