Description: Work Time is a sociological overview of the complex web of relations that shapes much of our experience of work and life yet often goes without critical examination. The author examines work time past and present, exploring structural economic change and the gender division of labor, to ask: what are the historical, cultural, public policy, and business sources of current work-time practices? The book focuses on the US in a global context and explores how a new political economy of work time is taking shape. -- Publisher description
