Contested capital
Theories of class within sociology have, over several decades, increasingly marginalised work and employment as generators of social class. In place of this, there has been a growing emphasis on culture determining class, drawing especially on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and exemplified by the work of Mike Savage and his co-authors. Bourdieusian approaches extend a narrow economic conception of capital to the terrain of culture. This article sugg…
Faces of Precarity
This chapter argues for a perspective on the study of precarious work which draws from earlier critical labour studies and feminist analyses of the role of domestic labour in the reproduction of capitalism in order to focus on the (micro-)social foundations of the (macro-) structural changes in the collective institutions, operations and outcomes of labour markets under neoliberalism. Especially, we point to the challenges that the fading away of…
The Precarious Concept of Precarity
This paper traces the roots of precarity as a concept emerging from French sociological discourse, then permeating through networks informed by Italian autonomism, before re-emerging in the writings of figures such as Guy Standing and Arne Kalleberg. It is shown that, despite the claims of the literature, precarity in employment is not typical in the United Kingdom. Here, temporary employment remains the exception and employment tenure remains st…
The Evolution of Generalised and Acute Job Tenure Insecurity
An earlier article by Gallie, Felstead, Green and Inanc demonstrates that employee insecurity can be divided into job tenure insecurity (anxieties about the continuity of employment) and job status insecurity (anxieties about the loss of valued features of the job). Here it is argued that job tenure insecurity can be further divided into acute and generalised variants. The former tracks the level of involuntary redundancies in the UK data and is …
Complex Labor, Value and the Reduction Problem
The “reduction problem” concerns the treatment of exceptionally skilled labor-power, known as “complex labor” within Marx's value theory. Marx's own writings on this subject are sparse and have been subject to extensive criticism. Here a solution is proposed drawing on the work of Jacques Bidet. It involves shifting away from individual workers to focus on the collective laborer and treating the resulting combination of specialisms through the fr…
How Not to Write about the Rate of Profit
It is hard to think of any living writer who has made a greater contribution to Marxist political economy than David Harvey. We can see this in his attempt to widen Marxist theory to take space properly into account, forming a new “historical–geographical materialism”; in his work The Limits to Capital, one of the most important products of the 1960s and 1970s generation’s engagement with Marx’s Capital; in his influential critical return to the …
