Guy Standing's immensely influential 2011 book introduced the Precariat as an emerging mass class, characterized by inequality and insecurity. Standing outlined the increasingly global nature of the Precariat as a social phenomenon, especially in the light of the social unrest characterized by the Occupy movements. He outlined the political risks they might pose, and at what might be done to diminish inequality and allow such workers to find a more stable labour identity. His concept and his conclusions have been widely taken up by thinkers from Noam Chomsky to Zygmunt Bauman, by political activists and by policy-makers. This new book takes the debate a stage further, looking in more detail at the kind of progressive politics that might form the vision of a Good Society in which such inequality, and the instability it produces, is reduced. A Precariat Charter discusses how rights - political, civil, social and economic - have been denied to the Precariat, and argues for the importance of redefining our social contract around notions of associational freedom, agency and the commons. 2022-10-14T14:53:16Z 2022-10-14T14:53:16Z 2014 book ONIX_20221014_9781472508478_86 9781472508478 9781472507983 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58755 eng application/pdf n/a 9781472508478.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781472510631 10.5040/9781472510631 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781472508478 9781472507983 Bloomsbury Academic 320 London open access
