New Work Ethics Foucault And The Spirit Of 21st Century Capitalism

The way large numbers of people in the developed economies sell their time, skills and efforts in the 21st Century world of paid work are damaging to their health, well-being and relationships. They are required to commit more to the organisations they work for, who then subject them to an intensification of the expectations related to their performance claims Peter Kelly. In The Self as Enterprise, he analyses the various injunctions and incitements to develop new work ethics reflecting the way people practice their freedom in relation to the world of paid work. This is an important contribution.
