Low-skill no more! essential workers, social reproduction and the legitimacy-crisis of the division of labour
Workers in the realm of social reproduction – e.g. nurses, carers, cleaners, food preparation workers etc. – are considered low-skill and are poorly remunerated. During the Covid-19 crisis they have been recast as ‘essential’, leading to unprecedented praise and attention in public discourse. Nonetheless, public praise for these ‘essential’ workers so far has not translated into a commitment for higher wages and improved working conditions. In th…
Claire Ainsley (2018) The New Working Class

In this book review, the author argues that Terry Eagleton's Why Marx Was Right addresses pertinent questions in relation to the Marxist concept of social class and oppression. In doing so, he shows that Marxism ought to be conceived as a method, if it ought to have any future whatsoever. He concludes that Eagleton's book makes a valuable contribution to lift Marxism from the margins into the mainstream
