520 8  Neo-liberal policies and institutional changes have 
       produced a huge and growing number of people with 
       sufficiently common experiences to be called an emerging 
       class. In this book Guy Standing introduces what he calls 
       'The Precariat' - a growing number of people across the 
       world living and working precariously, usually in a series
       of short-term jobs, without recourse to stable 
       occupational identities, stable social protection or 
       protective regulations relevant to them. They include 
       migrant workers, but also locals. Standing argues that 
       this class of people could produce new instabilities in 
       society. They are increasingly frustrated and dangerous 
       because they have no voice, and hence they are vulnerable 
       to the siren calls of extreme political parties. He 
       outlines a new kind of good society, with more people 
       actively involved in civil society and the precariat re-
       engaged. He goes on to consider one way to a new better 
       society - an unconditional basic wage for everyone, 
       contributed by the state, which could be topped up through
       employment. This is a topical, and a radical book, which 
       will appeal to a broad market concerned by the increasing 
       problems of job insecurity and civic disengagement
