Abstract

Post-Marx, social scientists have tended to define ‘labour’ by reference to working for others in return for a wage, rather than to a harmonious Durkheimian-style co-dependency. This mini-review of recent anthropological literature considers whether, in a world where the ‘standard employment contract’ is dwindling and many are out of work, ‘division of labour’ has any continuing relevance.
