Why do we classify certain capacities as economically valuable skills, and others as innate characteristics? What, moreover, is the role of law in shaping our answers to these questions?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese are just some of the queries explored by Zoe Adams's analysis of the legal construction, and regulation, of work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpanning from the 14th century to the present day, \u003cem\u003eThe Legal Concept of Work\u003c\/em\u003e explores how the role of law and legal concepts comes to consider some forms of human labour as work, and some forms of human labour as non-work. It examines why perceptions of these activities can change over time, and how legal constitution impacts the way in which work comes to be regulated, organised, and valued. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs part of the analysis, the book presents a series of case studies, ranging from the publishing industry, academia, medicine, and retail, with a view of illustrating some of the regulatory challenges different types of work face, in the context of capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zoe Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0192857770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780192857774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.40w x 1.80d","brand":"Zoe Adams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069581127935,"sku":"9780192857774","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0098b056-a288-4eaa-a159-3fa5e7e24f14.jpg?v=1685425449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-legal-concept-of-work-zoe-adams-9780192857774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
