Integrating political philosophy and the history of political thought with recent work in economics, political science, and sociology, this work calls for renewed political and policy commitment to Just Work. Such a commitment is essential to combat the negative moral externalities of an economy where the fruits of growth are increasingly claimed by a relatively small portion of the population: slower growth, rising inequality, declining absolute mobility, dying communities, the erosion of social solidarity, lack of faith in political leaders and institutions, exploding debt, ethnic and nationalist backlash, widespread hopelessness, and the rapid rise in what economists Angus Deaton and Anne Case call deaths of despair. As COVID-19 threatens to pour gasoline on these winner-take-all fires, further concentrating economic and political power in the hands of those best suited to withstand (and even profit from) the pandemic-driven economic crisis. In this book, the author provides a model for understanding the American Dream and making it a reality in a post COVID-19 economy. A tour de force, this book will be essential reading for scholars and researchers of political philosophy, political economy, political theory, and economics, as well as for the layperson trying to make sense of the post-pandemic world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t The philosophy, politics, and economics of just work. $t A tale of two societies -- $t American public philosophy of markets -- $t The American Dream revisited -- $t Martin Luther King's dream revisited -- $t Justice, gender, and the working family -- $t Abdicating the throne: the political economy of justice -- $t The philosophy, politics, and economics of just work. 650 0 $a Political science $z United States $x History $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Economic development $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a American Dream $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Income distribution $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Coronavirus infections $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 6 $a Developpement economique $z Etats-Unis $x Histoire $y 21e siecle. 650 6 $a Reve americain $x Histoire $y 21e siecle. 650 6 $a Revenu $x Histoire $z Etats-Unis $x Histoire $y 21e siecle. 650 6 $a Infections a coronavirus $x Aspect economique $z Etats-Unis. 650 7 $a American Dream. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738531 650 7 $a Coronavirus infections $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01984638 650 7 $a Economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901785 650 7 $a Income distribution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968670 650 7 $a Political science $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069819 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Preiss, Joshua, $t Just work for all $d k, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003141969 $w (DLC) 2020042072 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010902.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7019CF6EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
