Precarious times, phenomenal times. As protests for peace and freedom explode across the country and around the world, we're searching for and finding democracy in the streets and in the campus encampments, in prison study groups and collectives of artists and writers. We're honored tonight to be meeting up at our beloved Pilsen Community Books with Zeke Caligiuri, co-editor with a unique collective of incarcerated writers, for a discussion of their dazzling collection, American Precariat: Parables of Exclusion. While the class of people whose lives lack stability and security, and are increasingly dominated by uncertainty about our jobs and our incomes, our housing and our safety—about our futures—grows steadily and exponentially, it's particularly illuminating to explore this political moment with the unseen and the unheard, the excluded and the marginalized, those deemed by power the leastwise of the land.

We finish our discussion of Chapter 9 - “Is the Precariat a Class''.Da Slides:https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1oNY1SPxFk0Xg-NndRJPh0l_cOWyLMOGY6rFhC0zGIyc/edit?usp=share_linkBook Project:https://theclasslesssocietyinmotion.com/Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/FromAlpha2Omega

Writer and editor Zeke Caligiuri joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss American Precariat: Parables of Exclusion, a new collection of essays on class he co-edited along with eleven other incarcerated writers. The volume's contributors include Eula Biss, Kao Kalia Yang, Lacy M. Johnson, Valeria Luisielli, Kiese Laymon, and many others. Caligiuri, who worked on the book while in Minnesota correctional facilities and is now free, discusses the challenges of creativity and the literary life in prison settings, as well as how the book came to be. He also reflects on the idea that “the history of class hasn't always been written by the powerful, but they have always been its editors,” as he writes in a foreword, which he reads from during the episode.

Precariat is a noun that refers to someone whose employment and income are considered unstable.  Our word of the day came around in the 1980s as a blend of the words ‘precarious,' meaning ‘insecure' or ‘likely to collapse' and ‘proletariate' meaning ‘a member of the working class.' As with proletariat, our word of the day is often used to describe the precariat collectively. Here's an example: Back in my days as a waiter in a greasy spoon diner, it was often tough to watch those wealthy businessmen come in wearing expensive tailored suits while those of us in the precariat weren't sure if we'd have a job the next week.

Guy Standing, economist and author, looks at the current economic system and its impact on labour and society as a whole. Standing is a campaigning economist responsible for some of the most innovative solutions to inequality of recent times and he calls on us to wake up to the threat posed by capitalism's violent policies for extraction, exploitation and depletion of that which is both common to us all, but also vital to our survival. Austerity and neoliberal policies have depleted our shared commons - this plunder depriving us all of our centuries-old common rights to share fairly and equitably in our public wealth. Standing also looks at the increasingly global phenomenon of the Precariat and the rise of political extremism - and offers solutions, including the potential of a Universal Basic Income system as a tool for tackling inequality, climate change, and authoritarian populism. Guy Standing is a Professorial Research Associate and former Professor of Development Studies at SOAS University of London. His latest book is “The Blue Commons” in which he focuses on the economy of the sea and how it can provide solutions to economic inequality. He is also the author of "The Precariat” - the hugely influential first account of an increasingly global phenomenon where an emerging class of people faces insecurity, moving in and out of precarious work that gives little meaning to their lives. This episode of SystemShift comes from Greenpeace Nordic and is hosted by Greenpeace campaigner and former Swedish politician and Green MEP, Carl Schlyter, and produced by Alexia Fridén, with additional support from Ariadna Rodrigo, Juliana Costa, Christian Aslund and Attila Kulcsár at Greenpeace.

Is there a new 'transformative' class?   [Patreon Tier II & III Exclusive] We close of the 2022 Reading Club, and the final section on 'Neo-Feudalism', by discussing how class is changing. Through readings by Guy Standing and Ruy Braga, we ask if the precariat are the new serfs in a supposed feudal-ish social formation. It's clear the old Fordist arrangements have broken down, so what does the working class look like today? Is it still a class in the old sense? Braga argues we are witnessing 'class struggle without class'. But why then do the precariat's revolts only target state political authority, and not property relations?

The framework of this social model has been designed to actually create more benefits for families when they break up. The breaking up of the household is common in the United States and the added welfare benefits provided to those families are great incentives and also great traps to accept the coddling of a predatory nanny state.Originally Broadcast On 06/09/2016

Georges Van Den Abbeele discusses his article "Can the Precariat Be Organized?: The Gig Economy, Worksite Dispersion, and the Challenge of Mutual Aid," from Telos 198 (Spring 2022).

Ways of looking at the world are rarely wholly right or wrong; they are more or less useful, depending on the questions they conjure.It is hard for the average American to care about the world when they have to care about how they are going to balance work, finances and family life. We have already determined that healthy functional families are the biggest threat to the globalist social model.Originally Broadcast On 06/09/2016

It's unlikely that you've heard of it, but it's likely that you're part of it. As neoliberalism rages on, the human scrap heap gets bigger and bigger, and this is creating a dangerous new class called the Precariat. Ross Ashcroft is joined by Prof. Guy Standing to discuss the growing Precariat and why the political class should be taking them seriously.

Five labor-related films were inducted into the National Film Registry last year: The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971), Requiem-29 (1971), The Wobblies (1979), Chicana (1979) and Who Killed Vincent Chin? (1987). Films in the Registry are selected for their cultural, historic or aesthetic importance to preserve the nation's film heritage, and the Library of Congress, which maintains the Registry, says that the 2021 selections “represent one of the most diverse classes of films” yet, a fair description for a list that includes both 'Return of the Jedi' and ‘The Murder of Fred Hampton'. We asked Pat Aufderheide and Tom Zaniello to join us for a discussion about the labor selections. Pat is Professor of Communication Studies in the School of Communication at American University in Washington, D.C., where she founded the School's Center for Media & Social Impact. Tom is the author of a bunch of books on film and work, including Working Stiffs, Union Maids, Reds, and Riffraff, The Cinema of Globalization and The Cinema of the Precariat.

Connor (The Neo-Futurists) and I ponder the possibility of handing out T-Mobile gift cards at your funeral. He talks about what a hassle life is. And he's the first guest not to bring a concrete "coma" to the table, so instead we talk through what waiting for one of these drastic life-rearranging moments is like. There are also a couple long silences. Nothing's wrong. That's just Connor thinking. Content warning: There's talk of suicidal ideation. We're not therapists, we don't solve anything, but we've both had SI before, and hopefully anyone who can relate feels a little less alone from the casual way we talk about it rather than alienated.

This episode deals with some of the ideas from the concluding chapters of Guy Standing's book The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class--A Politics of Inferno and A Politics of Paradise. He warns that without major changes we will be facing more and more interest in what he calls neofascism, or the populist and nationalist right. In the last chapter he outlines some solutions, the most discussed being a universal basic income. I spend time on that, but also on the guilt trip societies put on precariat workers, as though it is all their fault. A huge government apparatus exists to encourage the existence of a lot of precarious workers to provide cheap just in time labor, and a huge apparatus exists that employs thousands, if not millions, in administering paternalistic and judgmental programs to the "poor." When you think about it, that's sick, and a basic income sounds rational by comparison. … More Basic Income vs. Gaslighting the Precariat (Podcast)

Guy Standing's chapter on "tertiary time" in his book The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class" deals with some important (and very recognizable) evils of our current work environment. The loss of control over our time is the main theme, and the harm that comes from this is sometimes very obvious and sometimes not at all. This video deals with the hidden cost of maintaining what it takes to work in the precariat, including time to maintain themselves and the personal equipment they use, and dealing with constantly changing schedules which means they have to constantly think about how to take care of children and elderly. Hidden traps having to do with taxes and contracts make it harder for the precariat to ever leave their condition. … More Multitasking Ourselves to Death (Precariat 6-Audio)

In this video, I discuss Ch. 4 of Guy Standing's The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class, which is on migration. Many in developed countries with large numbers of migrant laborers blame these laborers for taking jobs and reducing their economic prospects. Looking deeper, though, we see that they are there because globalized economic interests want the ultimate flexible and vulnerable labor pool and governments make sure they get them. Many leaders and parties talk about wanting their citizens to have good jobs but their actions and the results of their policies say otherwise. Ultimately no one wins in the current system, certainly not illegal migrants living in serfdom to survive. To get to the heart of the problem, we have to look at who/what benefits from large numbers of legal and illegal migrants. … More Migrants and Underemployment in Context: What’s Really Going On?

Focusing on the arguments in her latest book – Capitalism On Edge: How Fighting Precarity Can Achieve Radical Change Without Crisis or Utopia – Ivan Vejvoda and Albena Azmanova discuss the future of Guy Standing's “precariat”, that class of people whom late capitalism has condemned to live without predictability or security and who are asked to take ever greater risks with ever diminishing prospects of reward. They look at the possibilities for change, the insufficiency of ‘inequality” as an explanatory narrative and the challenges around the conflict between the desire for safety in academia and the imperatives of free speech and enquiry.Find Albena Azmanova on twitter @AAzmanova or on her website at azmanova.com.Her latest book, Capitalism On Edge is available everywhere.Ivan Vejvoda  is Head of the Europe's Futures program at IWM where, in cooperation with leading European organisations and think tanks IWM and ERSTE Foundation have joined forces to tackle some of the most crucial topics: nexus of borders and migration, deterioration in rule of law and democracy and European Union's enlargement prospects.The Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) is an independent institute for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences.

Guy Standing, author of The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class answers this question this way: because there just aren't enough stable, well paying jobs in the new economy. In this video I discuss some of the realities of university education today, especially the trend towards trying to sell education as a commodity with a promise of being qualified for specific jobs. The watering down of education is a serious concern of Standing. This education saddles students with debt, can't necessarily deliver the job they were trained for, and meantime has not encouraged them to think critically and creatively but to keep their heads down and do what's required, even if it's not at all what they wanted. The Precariat is therefore deprived of a key element in achieving some sort of political influence and the ability to push back--a good education. … More Why is My University Degree Not Enough? (4-Audio)

I discuss some of the many important points made in Ch. 2 of Guy Standing's The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class, entitled "Why the Precariat is Growing." Standing details what happened in OECD countries when emerging market countries started to out-compete them in terms of production and availability of low-cost labor. He shows how globalization, smoothed by government policies, led to the ultimate "flexible" labor force, with subsequent insecurity and strain on individuals, families and communities. Being ultimately flexible means not having any hope for a career, not identifying with an employer, and not being rewarded for the development of skills, among many other effects. People are most often blamed (and blame themselves) for their difficulty in finding a good job, but the deck is stacked against them like never before, and Standing does not think there is any way to turn back the clock. … More Why Can’t I Find a Good Job? (Guy Standing, The Precariat 3-Audio)

To start this series, I introduce the author Guy Standing and discuss a few prominent themes in his book The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class. Standing writes in the 2017 preface: "Those in the precariat have lives dominated by insecurity, uncertainty, debt and humiliation. They are denizens rather than citizens, losing cultural, civil, social, political and economic rights built upper generations. The precariat is the first class in history to labour and work at a lower level than the schooling it typically acquires." … More Intro to The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class by Guy Standing (Audio)

Across the political spectrum, there’s a widely held view that the decades-long increase in immigration to the U.S. has put U.S. workers in competition with new immigrants for scarce jobs and has led to depressed wages and working conditions. Ruth Milkman’s important and timely new book, Immigrant Labor and the New Precariat, upends this notion, arguing that it gets cause and effect wrong. Instead, she contends that immigrants have tended to fill jobs already badly degraded, thanks largely to deregulation and de-unionization. In an interview with Samir Sonti, she speaks about the particular industries in which this trend has played out, as well as the political implications of failing to properly understand the role that immigrant workers play in the U.S. economy.

The devastating force of neoliberalism has accelerated during the pandemic. Employment has shifted from conventional jobs to "gig" jobs that provide no security. Meanwhile, the accessibility and proliferation of new technologies have intensified the sense that cultural workers—artists, musicians, photographers, filmmakers, communicators...even clergy—should offer their labor for free, since the fruits of such labor seem astonishingly abundant on the web. US billionaires gain over $1 trillion in wealth during this pandemic. Meanwhile, precarity rises and creative work is devalued. What can we do to nurture a different economy? A better society that honors the contributions of its people?

What is the future of jobs? Why is there so much uncertainty about our future today? Do we need radical change, or do we just need to prepare ourselves better? In Episode 1, Niraj and Osho explore the idea of The Precariat - a working class that has emerged after globalisation, and is making its anxieties known to the world.

This, without them ever knowing that the legs or the tusks that they feel are but one small part of this mammoth beast. Where else have we seen this phenomenon? We all love talking about how we see the world. And we are always convinced that how we see it makes sense. But does it? Or, to really think about it, do we really see it? Or are we always just groping in the dark? Niraj and Osho bring a podcast where they share new ideas that are hidden within echo chambers, algorithmic blindspots, or simply highlight anomalies in plain sight. This is a show which will have super engaging conversations between two friends who have tried to build successful careers in the fields of consulting and public policy, while always chasing novel perspectives on what's going on around us. It is these perspectives that we dive into - from sport to finance, politics to wellness, technology to fashion - and invite you to see the world through our blind eyes.

In this epic, no holds barred discussion Inger recounts her perception-shifting experience of being unfairly treated as a young academic and Jason reflects on how to approach work when you have had the veil ripped from your eyes. We went long on this one - it ended up being 1hr and 45m  - so we've edited for length.

We start with Inger's aborted holiday in a cottage in the country when Thesis Whisperer Jnr and Mr Thesis Whisperer had to be tested for Covid (it's ok, they both had colds, but it's not a pandemic unless you have had something stuck up your nose). Jason is counting the days to the end of the pandemic and smelling the spring flowers as RMIT announces there will be involuntary redundancies.In our work segment we go long and deep on Textexpander and Omnifocus and how we still feel the love heart emoji eyes for both programs. The competitive book club continues. Inger describes an article about why we feel deflated in times of upheaval and that to do about it. Jason has put down his book about Colonel Hackwell in favour of reading about 'The Precariat' and an article entitled '100 productivity hacks', which rates hacks on degree of difficulty and will power required to implement them. This naturally leads to a conversation about coffee and Inger makes a surprising confession about Navy Seal Romance books.

This is not strictly true as women have been able to apply since 2016, but so far the one woman who has made it through decided being a SEAL was not for her (a pity, because Inger would have totally loved a 'gender flipped' Navy SEAL romance).

For the better part of the last decade, one of the best circulated critiques of the economy much of the world lives within refers to 'the precariat' - a class of people that numbers the billions. As Julie unpacks, the current virus is hitting the most vulnerable, which at a class level are those workers that have been made insecure and expendable. The crisis poses a chance to create better security and conditions for workers, but will that opportunity be taken? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this latest episode we talk with Professor Guy Standing, who has been at the forefront of Basic Income research for 30 years, running pilots all over the world. We discuss his original concept of “The Precariat”, a new class that might be familiar to many listeners, the moral case for a basic income and its fans in US politics and Silicon Valley, and his vision of a future of a new left built upon enlightenment principles. Links!Guy Standing: https://www.guystanding.com/Basic Income Earth Network: https://basicincome.org/The Precariat: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/the-precariat-9781849664561/Plunder of the Commons: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/308/308407/plunder-of-the-commons/9780141990620.html

Deriving concepts from the book "The One Minute Manager", another book called "The No Asshole Rule" for work environments. Accessing external truthfulness based mediated/moderated/immediated solutions available for cheap for the precariat class who is becoming more media savvy, the mediat precariat, rather than the mediots who are media idiots.... This Civil class won't be applicable to everyone, the way that Civilian class is applicable to Everyone who is supposedly Subject to the Rule of Law because that has become twisted in modern society in such a way that the wealthy and powerful have access to much more resources of the law than the precariat class do. It's not Civilian it is Precariat. Free or cheap or easy access to Agape based rules to move forward on, such that the Meek will Inherit this Earth. We are the precariat meek.

Even scientists face deportation in an anti-immigration environment. But Dr. Furaha Asani cautions that academics shouldn't think of themselves as "one of the good ones." Biochemist Dr. Asani is now one of the migrant precariat because her visa was denied for questionable reasons. PhDiva Xine Yao interviews Dr. Asani about reimagining STEM PhD training and the scientific method. It's okay to be a "very average scientist" -- Dr. Asani questions putting scientists on pedestals in terms of their claims to objectivity and upholding colonial standards of meritocracy.

Technology has shaken up working culture. Large multinationals are rethinking the ways they let their staff work. While for many people outside the structure of big companies, work is increasingly freelance and insecure. We'll hear from those who say the traditional eight-hour working day is on its way out. But what is replacing it? Join Manuela Saragosa and guests as they debate how to make work pay fairly for everyone. Manuela hears from Guy Standing, author of "The Precariat" ; Edward Conard, from the American Enterprise Institute and author of "The Upside of Inequality", and Douglas Rushkoff, author of "Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus".

Tara, Anne and Steve discuss Guy Standing's precariat and how the early childhood educator fits into such a category and concept.

The 'Precariat': Laurie Taylor talks to Guy Standing, Professor in Development Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. His highly influential 2011 book introduced the 'Precariat' as an emerging mass class, characterized by inequality and insecurity. Professor Standing argues that that the increasingly global nature of the Precariat is leading to the kind of social unrest which carries grave political risks. Marking the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, he takes his work a stage further, outlining A Precariat Charter which might award greater rights to this new 'class'. They're joined by Dr Lisa Mckenzie, Research Fellow in Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Also, whilst humour and laughter have been studied by social scientists, scholars who use wit, jokes and satire may get marginalised from the academy. Cate Watson, Professor in the School of Education at the University of Stirling, argues against this neglect of humour's potential. Producer: Jayne Egerton.

On Monday 26 January 2015 Professor Standing spoke at the Cambridge University Faculty of Law, where he discussed his latest book, 'A Precariat Charter: from Denizens to Citizens' with Professor Simon Deakin. Guy Standing is Professor of Development Studies at SOAS, University of London, and a founder and co-President of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN), an NGO promoting basic income as a right. He has held chairs at the Universities of Bath and Monash (Australia) and was previously Director of the Socio-Economic Security Programme of the International Labour Organisation. He is currently working on pilot basic income schemes in India and on issues relating to his two recent books, The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class (2011) and A Precariat Charter: From Denizens to Citizens (2014). The event was kindly supported by the Cambridge Public Policy Strategic Research Initiative and the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group.

What happens to a working class when there is no longer work?  How do we think about middle class in relation to a digitized, globalized, casual workplace?  Steve and Tara talk about reproletarianization and its relationship with Guy Standing's Precariat.

Podcast of the UNRISD Seminar "A Precariat Charter: From Denizens to Citizens", in which Guy Standing, Professor of Development at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, talks about the precariat: an emerging mass class characterized by inequality and insecurity, and about how their rights—political, civil, social, cultural and economic—have been denied. The event took place in Geneva in November 2014.

Professor Guy Standing of SOAS discusses his new book, A Precariat Charter: From Denizens to Citizens

We examine the last 40 years of the U.S. economy, as a more flexible business and labor system emerges with vastly increasing inequality.

The 'precariat', those precarious people who have no secure foothold in the world of work, are a dangerous new class, argues Professor Guy Standing.

A growing number of people, including millions from Britain, have been entering a global precariat, part of an emerging class structure shaped by globalisation. In this lecture, drawing on his new book, The Precariat: A New Dangerous Class, Professor Standing examined the labour market dynamics that underpin the growth of the precariat and set out the nucleus of a new 'politics of paradise' that is beginning to take shape outside the political mainstream.
