Book Description

This handbook gathers contributors from different disciplines of the social sciences, such as organization and management studies, sociology, anthropology and political science, to constructively discuss the kinds of transformations we need to see in coming years. These transformations conce the way we work, produce and consume but also the way in which we think about work, production and consumption. In an explicit rejection of the demand that the social sciences provide quick fixes, the contributors of this handbook discuss possible solutions in a critical and comprehensive manner and with an eye to both their environmental and societal implications. The handbook is divided into four parts:Opening up futures, Techno-economic transformations at work, Sustainable environmental transformation, and Radical democratic futures.The handbook is of interest to all critical academics interested in constructive suggestions regarding necessary societal transformations.
