Abstract
‘The end of work’—the vision of large-scale unemployment due to technological progress—has been discussed since the 1970s. But only now can economic growth be imagined as decoupled from the supply of labour. ‘Work’ as a defining category and organisational principle of modern industrial societies seems to be disappearing, with massive impacts not only on value creation and distribution, but also on social cohesion and human self-esteem. This article proposes a renewed and comprehensive understanding of work which goes beyond the view of work as purely a factor of production, to prepare European societies for the next phase of economic modernisation and societal change.
