The century of labouring man has come to an end, and yet
governments continue to link social entitlements to the performance
of labour. This book argues that the era of market regulation has
ended in an era of fiscal regulation: new social and economic
insecurities have spread around the world, boosted by globalisation
and flexible labour markets, and compounded by privatisation and
increased selectivity of social policy. This global insecurity has
spawned growing and underestimated inequalities, while governments
are making social policy more paternalistic and directive, using
the language of duty and responsibility. This context requires new
systems of regulation, social protection and redistribution. Guy
Standing argues for a complex egalitarianism, in which basic income
security is a right for all, workers' representation is
strengthened in new ways, and economic democracy is promoted. Work
(including community and care work), not labour, must be the basis
of the "good society", so policies should be judged by their
capacity to promote occupational security-good opportunity for all
to pursue their own sense of occupation.
