"Why do we think about some practices as work, and not others? Why
do we classify certain capacities as economically valuable skills,
and others as innate characteristics? What, moreover, is the role
of law in shaping our answers to these questions?" These are just
some of the queries explored by Zoe Adams's analysis of the legal
construction, and regulation, of work. Spanning from the 14th
century to the present day, The Legal Concept of Work explores how
the role of law and legal concepts comes to consider some forms of
human labour as work, and some forms of human labour as non-work.
It examines why perceptions of these activities can change over
time, and how legal constitution impacts the way in which work
comes to be regulated, organised, and valued. As part of the
analysis, the book presents a series of case studies, ranging from
the publishing industry, academia, medicine, and retail, with a
view of illustrating some of the regulatory challenges different
types of work face, in the context of capitalism.
