"Ferreras, Battilana, and Méda explore the potential for democratizing firms, decommodifying work, and decarbonizing the environment, explaining how these levers of positive social change are interrelated and how they can be implemented."

Journal of Economic Literature

"Isabelle Ferreras, Julie Battilana, and Dominique Méda have assembled a powerful collection of 12 essays, all written by women during the COVID-19 pandemic, that passionately addresses the ways in which the labor market has run roughshod over essential workers and commodified work, disadvantaging women and workers of color in particular."

Industrial and Labor Relations Review

"A cornerstone for building a fairer and more inclusive society. A must-read."

Thomas Piketty, author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century

"Exciting yet viable—the framework to mobilize for change and an essential handbook for everyone hoping for a better future."

Jayati Ghosh, University of Massachussetts Amherst

"This brilliant book makes the most compelling, comprehensive, and accessible case yet for democratizing work. It shows how we all have a stake in empowering workers at work--not only for the sake of workers, but for democracy at large, and a more sustainable planet."

Elizabeth Anderson, University of Michigan

"This book powerfully makes the case that democracy cannot be limited to political institutions but also belongs in the workplace. As technology and a global pandemic are radically remaking our relations at work, this book offers desperately needed guidance for achieving a more just and inclusive economic system. Imaginative, empirically informed, and motivated by a profound humanity, this is a normative social science at its best."
