About This Item
Toronto: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich [0-7747-3067-6] 1987, 2nd edition. (Trade paperback) 226pp. Near fine. Notes, references, index. "Work is an enormously complex activity. To even begin to understand its complexities requires the use of theories or models, which always isolate and amplify some aspects of reality at the expense of others. I have chosen to examine the institution of work from the perspective of a theory of alienated labour. The central focus of this theory is power; the problem of alienated labour is inextricably bound to the issue of who determines the way work is organized and the purposes for which work is undertaken" - from the Preface. Contributors include Seymour Faber. (Ideas, Alienation, Essays, Labour, Literary Theory, Power, Work).
