Since 1945, generation after generation, people lived increasingly better lives while working less and less, thanks to ever more productive work. Unfortunately, that era is now over. What is the purpose of work when it no longer enables people to improve their standard of living?
Antoine Foucher argues for a new social contract built around work, so that we can stop dividing ourselves and regain control over our collective destiny. As he demonstrates, work is what divides us least: provided that it allows us to live better and fulfil our potential, it is something desired by the greatest number of people while also strengthening us collectively.
This, then, is the unprecedented challenge of our time: to build a society centred on work that is no longer based on obedience or necessity, but on individual fulfilment in the service of the common good.
“A powerful and deeply committed reflection on work—essential in these turbulent times to restore meaning to one of the foundations of our societies.” Laurent Berger, Series Editor
