About the book
Guy Standing introduces the concept of the "precariat" — a new social class made up of people facing economic instability and a lack of job security. Unlike the classic proletariat, the precariat faces temporary contracts, a lack of benefits, and no prospect of a stable career, characteristics that are increasingly prevalent in the contemporary global economy.
The book examines the social, political, and psychological consequences of this condition, exploring how precariousness has become a determining factor in the lives of billions of people. Standing argues that this growing class represents a potential risk to social stability and offers reflections on the public policies needed to address this new phenomenon.
