Bringing together ethnographic case studies of industrial labor from different parts of the world, Industrial Labor on the Margins of Capitalism explores the increasing casualization of workforces and the weakening power of organized labor. This division owes much to state policies and is reflected in local understandings of class. By exploring this relationship, these essays question the claim that neoliberal ideology has become the new ‘commonsense’ of our times and suggest various propositions about the conditions that create employment regimes based on flexible labor.

«Молись и работай» – таков был девиз монахов Ордена Святого Венедикта Нурсийского и юного послушника Иакова. Но неокрепшее сердце юноши жаждет впечатлений, а мятущийся ум ищет ответы и толкует всё в меру своих возможностей. Иногда жизнь тревожит. Иногда – откровенно пугает. Но прилежный послушник сносит всё, принимая как должное, без ропота и непослушания. Ровно до тех пор, пока в стенах монастыря не появляется загадочный незнакомец Конрад.
