Many employers minutely regulate workers’ speech, clothing, and manners on the job, and employers often extend their authority to the off-duty lives of workers, who can be fired for their political speech, recreational activities, diet, and almost anything else employers care to govern. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers can enjoy real freedom.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: University Center for Human Values SeriesTopic: Philosophy & Spirituality, Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
