[an] elegantly written [and] concise work.... recommended for anyone who wants to understand the wider context of work in the gig economy and its engagement with employment law.
Marco Biasi, European Journal of Social Security This book offers a seminal account of the main features of work in the gig economy, providing a considerable amount of information and interesting insights on a varied and rapidly varying phenomenon ... the findings of the book, which illuminates the promises and especially the perils of on-demand work, provide an extremely valuable contribution to the overall discussion.
David Schleicher, Professor of Law, Yale Law School The arguments Jeremias Prassl offers in this book will change the way you think about at work and labor law in a changing economy. It is a brilliant and fascinating book. A triumph.
Ursula Huws, Professor of Labour and Globalisation, University of Hertfordshire The sudden arrival of the 'gig economy', and its exponential global growth, took both academics and policy-makers by surprise, exposing some regulations as no longer fit for purpose in the volatile conditions of digital global labour markets. Prassl provides us with a magisterial overview, cutting through starry-eyed myths about entrepreneurship, while exposing the realities of work that is managed by algorithms. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just the inadequacies of current legal frameworks for regulating this runaway new form of work organisation, but also, and more importantly, to do something about it, to create the basis for a sustainable new model of employment protection fit for the 21st century.
David Cowan, Global Legal Post Prassl offers a good survey of the literature... Humans as a Service should guide you to other useful avenues of thought as we seek to rethink employment law for the future of work.
