Marx argued that capitalist society acts against the core
capacities, skills and talents of human beings, and that it also
limits their realisation or channels them into activities related
to profit rather than need. Bringing Marx’s theory of alienation
forward to the present day, this book uniquely links it to health
and well-being. Using case studies and vignettes of workers across
different industries, it reveals their lived experiences, offering
crucial insights into the insidious ways in which capitalism
continues to damage human well-being. This is a resounding call for
how society can change for the better.
