Re-imagining the future of work

An extract from Resist! Against a precarious future, a new book on young people and politics.

Published:

Resist! Against a precarious future, edited by Ray Filar, is the third book in the Radical Future series: publications by young activists, journalists and artists calling for radical alternatives to the status quo. We're interested in social justice, liberation and collectivity, and the ways young people are organising to create change. If you think mainstream politics is a dismal failure and you still have hope we can do better, Resist! is for you. It can be downloaded for free here.

Imagine that it’s 2025 and the world of work has changed. Today, we do labour out of passion, not obligation. Nobody has a low-paid job or has to balance multiple jobs just to make rent. Work gives us meaning and direction, but it does not define who we are. The three day working week means we have time to spend with friends and family, to contribute to our communities and have a say in how society in run.
