Increasingly, employees are being falsely treated as 'self-employed'. This phenomenon - the 'gig economy' - is seen as the inevitable shape of things to come.
In this book, Colin Crouch takes a step back and questions this logic. He shows how the idea of an employee - a stable status that involves a bundle of rights - has maintained a curious persistence. Examining the ways companies are attacking these rights, from proffering temporary work to involuntary part-time work to 'gigging', he reveals the paradoxes of the situation and argues that it should not and cannot continue. He goes on to propose reforms to reverse the perverse incentives that reward irresponsible employers and punish good ones, setting out an agenda for a realistic future of secure work.
Crouch's penetrating analysis will be of interest to everyone interested in the future of work, the welfare state and the gig economy.

All of a sudden, everybody's talking about the gig economy. From taxi drivers to pizza deliverers to the unemployed, we are all aware of the huge changes that it is driving in our lives as workers, consumers and citizens.
This is the first comprehensive overview of this highly topical subject. Drawing upon years of research, stories from gig workers, and a review of the key trends and debates, Jamie Woodcock and Mark Graham shed light on how the gig economy came to be, how it works and what it's like to work in it. They show that, although it has facilitated innovative new services and created jobs for millions, it is not without cost. It allows businesses and governments to generate value while passing significant risk and responsibility onto the workers that make it possible. This is not, however, an argument for turning back the clock. Instead, the authors outline four strategies that can produce a fairer platform economy that works for everyone.
Woodcock and Graham's critical introduction will be essential reading for students, scholars and general readers interested in the massive shifts that characterize our modern digital economy.

The Gig Society explores the various ways in which modern technology impacts society. The technology of today, from artificial intelligence to social media to Internet service providers, are creating an economy that funnels power to the ruling class and fosters a culture of division and apathy. These changes represent an erosion of freedom, privacy, and individuality. It's on us, the people of the America and our representative government, to recognize and fight back against that erosion--through regulation and our own cultural movements alike. The Gig Society goes through a catalog of threats posed by modern technology and presents necessary solutions for them. It's also a plea for American unity against those threats, because if we don't find it in ourselves and each other to fight back, we will see institutions collapse and our shared values slip away from us for good.
