Guy Standing gained critical success for his 2011 book Precariat, which introduced the emerging mass class characterized by inequality and insecurity. This new book builds further upon this social phenomenon, 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.
