Gavin Watson's Skins is a tour de force of publishing. Roundly acclaimed as perhaps the single most important, compelling and illuminating book ever to be produced on youth culture, Skins harks back to one of the most reviled - yet most misunderstood - of all British subcults.
Challenging conventional shareholder capitalism, the book argues that current business practices misalign with human nature and reality. It highlights the widespread dissatisfaction and disengagement many experience at work, often leading to a mechanical approach to tasks. The author envisions a workplace where individuals feel excited to contribute and leave feeling fulfilled, advocating for a transformation in how we perceive work and its purpose in our lives.
