Labor Recommodification in the Global Transformation

Guy Standing

Chapter 4 in Reading Karl Polanyi for the Twenty-First Century, 2007, pp 67-93 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The twentieth century saw the rise and fall of industrial citizenship. The essence of the “embedding” phase of that transformation was the advance of labor-based entitlements, which was a type of labor decommodification.1 In the last quarter of the century, those entitlements were eroded almost everywhere, marking the demise of industrial citizenship.
