Nick Srnicek: Post-work, Post-capitalism, Post-contemporary?

SERIES 2.2: POST-CAPITALISM
29 FEB: NICK SRNICEK (CITY/WESTMINSTER): POST-WORK, POST-CAPITALISM, POST-CONTEMPORARY?
What does the future of work hold? This talk will examine the current capitalist conjuncture, outlining the changing technological and economic conditions of work. The social democratic era of good jobs, it will be shown, is over - and the left must grapple with this shift. In place of full employment, we should be arguing for full unemployment. This talk will try and show both why this is necessary, and how this is possible.
