The Work We Need: 'An act of radical hope, radical listening and radical humility . . . I loved it' RORY STEWART
Autor Hilary Cottamen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mai 2026
'Highly recommend - practical and full of human wisdom' FINANCIAL TIMES
'Brimming with ideas to transform the future' KATE RAWORTH, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS
We can create a work revolution. For decades, work has been debated and discussed as a narrow economic category. Instead, Hilary Cottam identifies work as a cultural force at the heart of good lives, strong communities and a sense of a shared national destiny. Crucially, in these dramatic times, she shows how we can shape this force to meet technological change, our ecological crisis and the challenges of the world's deep injustices.
Ambitious but rooted in the ideas of everyday experts - real workers from all walks of life - this is a realistic and hopeful book. Drawing on a fascinating range of sources (historians, trade unionists, business leaders, philosophers and most originally, hours of her imaginative workshops with workers), Hilary Cottam boldly asks: how can we redesign work?
'So valuable . . . Hilary Cottam proposes a bold new vision of what the principles underlying "good work" might be' MARIANA MAZZUCATO, UCL professor and author of MISSION ECONOMY
'Timely . . . guides the changes needed' CARLOTA PEREZ
'Exposes what motivates workers today - not the things most business leaders think - and shows how new thinking would benefit us all. Compelling' MARTHA LANE FOX
'Urgent, compelling and ultimately hopeful . . . Necessary and Inspiring' CAROLINE LUCAS, Green Party MP and author of ANOTHER ENGLAND

Recenzii
Pushing us to rethink our most basic assumptions . . . Full of empathy, insight and courage . . . Cottam is the humane revolutionary our turbulent century needs - and this book our roadmap to a better future
Brimming with ideas to transform the future, Hilary Cottam takes us on a fascinating journey to discover how to make work work
An act of racial hope, radical listening and radical humility - Hilary Cottam challenges our most fundamental assumptions about our lives and society and most importantly, suggests how we can make things much better. I loved it
Urgent, compelling and ultimately hopeful . . . Cottam demonstrates that a better future, based on reciprocity and mutual collaboration, is not only possible but its seeds are already here. Necessary and Inspiring
Exposes what motivates workers today - not the things most business leaders think - and shows how new thinking would benefit us all. Compelling
Integrates life as imagined by workers themselves with a keen understanding of technological and economic change. An engrossing blueprint for change
One of the deepest thinkers on this subject
Twenty-first century people cannot give their best if tied down to twentieth-century patterns of work. Hilary Cottam provides the roadmap for the required transformation. Timely . . . guides the changes needed
Cottam has found inspiring examples of efforts to build a better future of work, many grounded in a specific place, from Barrow-in-Furness to Grimsby to Baltimore . . . Most 21st century jobs aren't working. Here are six ways to revolutionise them
What happens if you step back from the relentless treadmill, and ask a deeper question: can we reimagine our working lives? Hilary Cottam did just that . . . [she] names six principles of a good working life . . . I love the simplicity of this prescription, and highly recommend her book - it's practical and full of humane wisdom . . . In a nutshell: providing good work is more than just pay and conditions - it's about creating firm foundations for our well being as humans
For an economy that delivers for the common good, we must envision what an economy that delivers meaningful work for all might look like. Building on a rich tapestry of first-hand accounts of workers, Hilary Cottam proposes a bold new vision of what the principles underlying 'good work' might be. So valuable
