“…At the latest after the upheavals in the universities in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the majority of sociologists interested in work looked to Marx's theory of history and society. All paths seemed to lead to Marx, who'd offered a "comprehensive theoretical interpretation at the highest intellectual level of all, which one wanted to research" (Bahrdt 1982: p. 14; see also Strangleman 2016: p. 22). Regarding the key category of 'work', the sociologists that looked to Marx had convincing connections to the sociological theory of society, to the theory of business and to theories on the individual.…”

Using Marxist and systems theory as guides, this book offers an entry point to the current debate on the role of economy in modern society, the change in work organizations and the effect of the economy on the individual. It explores the concepts of 'work society', 'industrial society' and 'capitalist society' to explain the conditions of society as a whole, and not just the conditions of businesses, making particular use of the category of 'work'. The first systematic theoretical comparison of Marxism and systems theory, it provides a brief overview of the central debates concerning work society and the controversies surrounding organizations in capitalism. As such, it will appeal to social scientists and social theorists with interests in the sociology of work, industry and organizations.
