Work Under Capitalism synthesizes recent institutionalist and Marxist ideas about the organization of production, situating production within a social context. Starting with the transaction rather than the individual, it builds upon a coherent theory and applies it to a wide range of experience, from household labour to transformations of health c

The future of work will not simply be determined by rapid technological change. Work's future is also being shaped by four other crises: climate change, the care crunch, crises of inequality and rising authoritarianism. Futures of Work provides an accessible introduction to how work and workers worldwide are being affected by these five interacting crises.With one chapter devoted to each crisis, the book summarizes recent trends and the forces at work, zooming in particularly on what workers and their supporters are doing, and could do, to push for fairer and worker-friendlier outcomes. The crises are global in scope, and the book's arguments are accordingly bolstered by evidence from around the world, including the United States and Europe but also Asia and the Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. The title Futures of Work—plural—signals Tilly's contention that the future of work is not set in stone, and the choices all of us make will ultimately determine that future.

The catalyst for this book is the fact that noted sociologist Charles Tilly, upon his death in 2008, left one completed chapter of an unfinished manuscript entitled “Cities, States, and Trust Networks,” examining the relationships between cities and nation-states over the sweep of history, and in particular the role of trust networks in mediating this relationship.  Though this was the catalyst, the book serves a broader purpose: to survey recent frontier work on cities, nation-states, and the relations between the two in historical and contemporary perspective. Essays in the book will address four main themes: city-state relations, trust networks and commitment, democracy and inequality, and the importance of historical legacies in shaping state structures, practices, and capacities.  They will be global in scope, with research on the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa; a number of the pieces will be comparative.  They will also be interdisciplinary, including works of geography, history, political science, sociology, urban planning. The book addresses several confluent needs of readers.  One is to simply update themes addressed in earlier edited work such as Bringing the State Back In (1985).  A second is to bring together current thinking about cities on the one hand and nation-states on the other, literatures that are often segregated from each other.  A third is to perform those two purposes in a way that is global in scope and combines both historical and current analyses, to pull together insights from the full range of human experience.
