Lavoro e natura umana

(Work and Human Nature)

Abstract

This essay highlights the main issues that concern the transformation of work within a global-knowledge economy. Emphasis is placed on the anthropological background that post-Fordist capitalism lets emerge for the first time. The essay concludes by arguing that an analogous attention should be placed on the differences that, in the contemporary age, continue to exist among various individuals and not simply between past and present or between human beings and animals.
