Kory Schaff is in the Ph.D. program at the University of California, San Diego.
Kory Schaff brings together here many of the important
philosophical studies of work from the last fifty years. There is
an ample spread of points of view—-from Arendt to Roemer and from
Nozick to Elster. With many of the authors commenting on one
another in their essays, the reader gets the benefit of a genuine
dialogue. Schaff has selected writings that probe the limitations
of our actual world of work. Putting them all between one cover
will be an impetus to further reflection on meaningful work,
women's work, the right to work, exploitation, workfare, and
democracy at work.
