"Degrowth and the Liberation of Work"

by Barca, Stefania (2019)

Abstract

This chapter discusses the place of labour in the political economy of degrowth. The first section reviews a number of critical social theories that have variously contributed to what is currently the main degrowth approach to labour—namely, the “liberation from work” perspective. This emphasizes the need for reducing as much as possible production work in waged form while at the same time expanding autonomous reproduction and care work as key dimensions of a degrowth society.
