New book - Labour Law Utopias: Post-Growth and Post-Productive Work Approaches


The book of Nicolas Bueno, Beryl ter Haar and Nuna Zekić entitled "Labour Law Utopias: Post-Growth & Post-Productive Work Approaches" published with Oxford University Press in open access, available at Oxford Academic. https://academic.oup.com/book/58011

The book holds contributions of highly esteemed colleagues from all around the world. In general, the contributions engage with new socioeconomic ideas, or utopias, that look beyond the current growth-driven competitive market economy. Building on critiques of economic growth and the limits of the logic of human productivity and competitivity for workers and the planet, it explores alternative approaches and what they mean for work in general and labour law in particular.

More particularly, the book holds the following contributions which are all downloadable individually at Oxford Academic:
