* A powerful new analysis of work and of the value that is placed
on employment and economic success in contemporary societies.
* An impassioned critique of politicians and others who portray full employment as the norm, and promise a future of work for all - a promise that makes the unemployed feel increasingly marginalised and worthless.
* The book has been a bestseller in France, where it sold more than 350,000 copies. It has sold more than 60,000 copies in Germany, more than 50,000 in Argentina, and is currently being translated into many other languages.
