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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis  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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Precariat Charter \u003c\/i\u003ediscusses how rights -  political, civil, social and economic -  have been denied to the  Precariat, and at the importance of redefining our social contract  around notions of associational freedom, agency and the commons. The  ecological imperative is also discussed - something that was only hinted  at in Standing's original book but has been widely discussed in  relation to the Precariat by theorists and activists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781472510396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40621728202958,"sku":"9781472510396","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_250412df-a89c-4e1e-8953-6f2d7478043b.jpg?v=1638494851","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781472510396","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
