Money, jobs, careers, training_all are topics often overheard in
the conversation of middle-class Americans. One of the nation's
leading critics of education, the world of work, and the labor
movement, Stanley Aronowitz shows how new technologies, labor, and
education all are deeply intertwined in our culture and everyday
lives. This book reflects Aronowitz's thinking at a time when
globalization has brought these connections to broad public
attention. Aronowitz argues for the decline of 'the job' as the
backbone, along with family, of American society. Despite high
employment, low wages and job insecurity leave many families at or
below the poverty line. The career instability previously
experienced mostly by blue-collar workers has spread to middle
managers and high-level executives caught in the rapid movement of
capital and technologies. In light of these facts, Aronowitz argues
for a new social contract between employers and workers.
