The story of work : a new history of humankind / Jan Lucassen. - New Haven ; London : Yale University Press, 2022. - 525 stron : ilustracje ; 20 cm.
Książka w języku angielskim. The first truly global history of work, an upbeat assessment from the age of the hunter-gatherer to the present day. We work because we have to, but also because we like it: from hunting-gathering over 700,000 years ago to the present era of zoom meetings, humans have always worked to make the world around them serve their needs. Jan Lucassen provides an inclusive history of humanity’s busy labor throughout the ages. Spanning China, India, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, Lucassen looks at the ways in which humanity organizes work: in the household, the tribe, the city, and the state. He examines how labor is split between men, women, and children; the watershed moment of the invention of money; the collective action of workers; and at the impact of migration, slavery, and the idea of leisure.
