The privilege of servitude: the new service proletariat in the digital age

Abstract

Ricardo Antunes' most recent work expresses the reflections and empirical research developed in the last decade, covering central themes for the debate on the world of work in contemporary capitalism. The book assumes a character of resistance to academic productivism, brings together a diversity of themes, with some chapters co-authored, and has as its guiding thread the debate
about the expansion of the new service proletariat that starts to compose the morphology of work in the digital era and requires a reconfiguration of social, union and political forces in the search for a new socialist societal project
