Described by Noam Chomsky as 'a very important book', Guy Standing's The Precariat has achieved cult status as the first account of this emerging class of people, facing lives of insecurity, moving in and out of jobs that give little meaning to their lives.
Guy Standing warns that the rapid growth of the precariat is producing instabilities in society. It is a dangerous class because it is internally divided, leading to the villainisation of migrants and other vulnerable groups. And, lacking agency, its members may be susceptible to the siren calls of political extremism. He argues for a new politics, in which redistribution and income security are reconfigured and in which the fears and aspirations of the precariat are made central to a progressive strategy.
Since first publication of this book in 2011, the precariat has become an ever more significant global phenomenon, highly visible in the Occupy movement and in protest movements around the world.
In a new preface Guy Standing discusses such developments - are they indicative of the emergence of a new collective spirit, or do they simply reveal the growing size and growing anger of this new class?

这绝对是一本在各种意义上都应该被更广泛阅读的书，对于无论是学界还是大众读者而言都是如此。而且，或许Standing所预言的事情都已经悄悄开始了。

階級，又或新自由主義無產階級生活經驗/ 某程度上如同被告知「人終有一死」一樣鬆一口氣/ 沒有政治權利、集會自由的一群怎樣重新爭取無權者的權力，作者當然沒有提到/ 自求多福

行文简洁，框架清晰，很好理解；但是读起来感觉像是introduction，尤其越到后半部分越像概述，而缺少分析和实例。
