Standing outlined the increasingly global nature of the Precariat as a social phenomenon, especially in the light of the social unrest characterized by the Occupy movements. He outlined the political risks they might pose, and at what might be done to diminish inequality and allow such workers to find a more stable labour identity. His concept and his conclusions have been widely taken up by thinkers from Noam Chomsky to Zygmunt Bauman, by political activists and by policy-makers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new book takes the debate a stage further, looking in more detail at the kind of progressive politics that might form the vision of a Good Society in which such inequality, and the instability it produces, is reduced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Precariat Charter \u003c\/i\u003ediscusses how rights - political, civil, social and economic - have been denied to the Precariat, and argues for the importance of redefining our social contract around notions of associational freedom, agency and the commons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Standing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472505751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472505750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Guy Standing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48436664959231,"sku":"9781472505750","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06e36edc-abbb-4e5a-ab79-c43fb306ac32.jpg?v=1777157251","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-precariat-charter-guy-standing-9781472505750","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
