 k” now available at the University of Chicago Press\n\nIsabelle Ferreras\,
  Julie Battilana\, and Dominique Méda\n\nTranslated by Miranda Richmond Mo
 uillot\n\nAn urgent and deeply resonant case for the power of workplace de
 mocracy to restore balance between economy and society.\n	\n	What happens to
  a society—and a planet—when capitalism outgrows democracy? The tensions b
 etween democracy and capitalism are longstanding\, and they have been laid
  bare by the social effects of COVID-19. The narrative of “essential worke
 rs” has provided thin cover for the fact that society’s lowest paid and le
 ast empowered continue to work risky jobs that keep our capitalism humming
 . Democracy has been subjugated by the demands of capitalism. For many\, w
 ork has become unfair.\n	\n	In Democratize Work\, essays from a dozen social
  scientists—all women—articulate the perils and frustrations of our collec
 tive moment\, while also framing the current crisis as an opportunity for 
 renewal and transformation. Amid mounting inequalities tied to race\, gend
 er\, and class—and with huge implications for the ecological fate of the p
 lanet—the authors detail how adjustments in how we organize work can lead 
 to sweeping reconciliation. By treating workers as citizens\, treating wor
 k as something other than an asset\, and treating the planet as something 
 to be cared for\, a better way is attainable. Building on cross-disciplina
 ry research\, Democratize Work is both a rallying cry and an architecture 
 for a sustainable economy that fits the democratic project of our societie
 s.\n	\n	Contributors include Alyssa Battistoni (Barnard College of Columbia
