The nature of work seems to be changing. I've not read Marx, but it seems these companies are just exploiting the technology without having to commit to massive investment. They let their 'employees' take the risks and I think they should be looking after them better. People need employment, but they should not be abused.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Marx, like so many 19th century philosophers could WRITE...
One of my favourite lines from the Communist Manifesto (1848).... on the consequences of the dynamism of capitalism....
"All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind."
You just don't see this kind of poetic prose around these days.
To my mind that describes pretty well what's occurring today, maybe without the at last, as the disruption just seems to be perpetual.
