Digital, Class, Work: Before and During Covid-19 by John Michael Roberts Hardcov

Description: Digital, Class, Work by John Michael Roberts Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Explores the changing nature of digital labour and work both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic Publisher Description This book examines class relations through numerous empirical case studies, reports, and other sets of data before and during COVID-19. It is divided in four distinctive work processes the global productive digital work process, which comprises areas like manufacturing; unproductive commercial digital work, which comprises sectors like the creative industries, retail and services; digital gig work practices; and the state and public work sectors. Roberts maps class relations in these work processes to three types of digital work: digital labour (or, what is commonly known as platform labour); digitisation of labour (the application of digital technology to everyday work practices); and digitised labour (when automation and smart machines replace real workers in an organisation). Situating the analysis within the broader and global perspective of neoliberalism and financialisation, it demonstrates how the use of digital technology in many workplaces and labour processes has benefited unproductive global capital, particularly capital in the unproductive financial sector.
