The Value of Work in Contemporary Society
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. The concept of “work” has several definitions, but they all share the idea of a purposeful, conscious activity.

As novas infraestruturas produtivas
Resultado de pesquisas sobre as transformações do trabalho no Brasil e no mundo, As novas infraestruturas produtivas, obra organizada pelos pesquisadores Ricardo Festi e Jörg Nowak, conta com catorze textos de 27 autores e aborda temas como o papel das plataformas digitais no trabalho contemporâneo, automação, inteligência artificial, as novas formas de organização dos trabalhadores, educação, neoliberalismo, terceirização e comércio eletrônico. Os autores trazem para a obra um diagnóstico preciso, ainda que parcial, das atuais tendências do capital em relação ao trabalho, resultado de investigações que obedecem diferentes metodologias. E mais, discutem de maneira original a formação de uma nova classe trabalhadora e as novas formas de organização coletiva. "Utilizando-se de arsenal tecnológico do século XXI, o trabalho encontra similitude e equivalência em modalidades típicas do século XIX, tudo sob a abjeta aparência da modernidade. É exatamente esse o objeto que esta coletânea ajuda a descortinar. Para que se possa melhor confrontá-lo", escreve na quarta capa o coordenador da coleção Mundo do trabalho, o professor Ricardo Antunes.
