1. Cholbi, M; Danaher, J; Deranty, JP; Hester, H; Weeks, K. "Envisioning the Post-Work World: A Roundtable Conversation*." Debating A Post Work Future Perspectives from Philosophy and the Social Sciences January, 2024: 9-37. [doi]

   Abstract:
   This conversation among four leading theorists of post-work considers some of the main issues of a post-work agenda today: what the term “post-work” denotes; the values of a post-work agenda; whether such an agenda overturns gendered forms of work; the reasons for its wide appeal in a time of precarious and alienating work; the role of technology and automation in shaping the contours of a post-work future; alternative modes of compensation in post-work societies including basic income and other forms of a social minimum; and whether a post-work social order can help address the climate crisis.
