Universal Basic Income in Historical Perspective
This new edited collection brings together historians and social scientists to engage with the global history of Universal Basic Income (UBI) and offer historically-rich perspectives on contemporary debates about the future of work.

Contributions range broadly across time and space, from Milton Friedman and ...

Seeing Others
Acclaimed Harvard sociologist makes the case for reexamining what we value to prioritize recognition the quest for respect in an age that has been defined by growing inequality and the obsolescence of the American dream.

La Société biographique : une injonction à vivre dignement
Hier les institutions prenaient en charge l'individu du berceau à la tombe sans qu'il ait son mot à dire. A l'inverse, ce dernier est aujourd'hui sommé d'être autonome et de se forger un récit biographique à l'adresse de ces mêmes institutions. Cette libération de l'individu peut aisément se retourner en contrainte et le condamner à une sorte de mise en récit perpétuelle. Ce livre étudie le tournant en cours dans les modes de socialisation dans les sociétés européennes et soumet au lecteur les enjeux de l'émergence d'une société où le lien social repose en grande partie sur une mise en récit de soi.

Le travail dans les cultures monothéistes
Réfléchir sur le travail, c'est s'interroger sur sa représentation socio-historique pour comprendre sa place dans nos sociétés d'aujourd'hui. Quelle était la valeur du travail dans les cultures grecque, hébraïque, chrétienne et musulmane? Voici une réflexion sur l'interculturel et l'interaction entre les différentes traditions culturelles païennes et monothéistes dans la construction de la "notion moderne du travail". Comment la représentation du travail varie-t-elle d'une époque à l'autre et d'une culture à l'autre?
