520 _a"Meaningful Work and Workplace Democracy is a timely revival of the social and political importance of meaningful work. Drawing upon moral philosophy, political theory and sociology of work, this book creates a philosophy of work based upon the value of meaningfulness, and addresses contemporary concerns that work has become irretrievably degraded by evaluating how this understanding of meaningfulness remedies alienation, domination and distorted social recognition.
