Review :
Kory Schaff brings together here many of the important philosophical studies of work from the last fifty years. There is an ample spread of points of view—-from Arendt to Roemer and from Nozick to Elster. With many of the authors commenting on one another in their essays, the reader gets the benefit of a genuine dialogue. Schaff has selected writings that probe the limitations of our actual world of work. Putting them all between one cover will be an impetus to further reflection on meaningful work, women's work, the right to work, exploitation, workfare, and democracy at work. A wonderful collection! With its focus on work, it provides an unique and illuminating approach to the central questions of social and political philosophy. A wonderful collection!
