*Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA*
This important and original book brings out the political dangers,

insecurities of the Precariat. It also suggests the way forward: a
reconstruction of the concept of work.

Guy Standing provides an incisive account of how precariousness is
becoming the new normality in globalised labour markets, and offers
important guidelines for all concerned to build a more just
