Le teorie della fine del lavoro, ideologie e provocazioni

  • Guido Cavalca
  • Enzo Mingione

The “End of work” theories targeted the transition towards a digital and service society stating the end of full employment, widespread prosperity and endless economic development. The increase of unemployment and the (historically recurrent) fear of new technologies inspired theoretical attempts to identify a new era in substitution of the Industrial Society revolved around the ‘abstract labour’. Beyond the ideology arguing (without being able to demonstrate) the complete technological displacement and the consequent dawn of a Jobless Society and beyond the provocation of overstating the effects of the digital transition, scholars as Rifkin, Meda, Beck, and others, contributed to draft a new pattern of Capitalism where labour is still central but unstable and unable to guarantee social rights and identity.
