About the Event
How is work changing under contemporary capitalism? Jamie McCallum and Ian Greer will be conversing about their new books that tackle this question from very different angles.
About the Books
McCallum's new book, Essential: How the Pandemic Transformed the Long Fight for Worker Justice, documents US workers' pandemic-era struggles against low wages, long hours, and unsafe conditions and the roots of their militancy and rage.
Greer's book, Marketization: How Capitalist Exchange Disciplines Workers and Subverts Democracy, examines the long march of neoliberalism in Europe, how it has translated into intensified competition between workers, and the consequences for workers' power and influence.
