Publisher's Synopsis
In their history of man and his work, the authors have told the story of work, how man has conceived of it, organized it, and reacted to it from pre-historic times to the present, and they speculate what work will become in the future as man is increasingly replaced by machine. The book is divided into three main sections: Work in the Pre-Industrial Age, Work in the Early Industrial Age, and Modern Production: Technology and Consequences.
