Joy in Work, German Work

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the evolving German discourse on work, particularly during the industrialization era and between the world wars. It examines influential thinkers like Hegel, Marx, and Weber, alongside industrial psychologists and reform advocates who sought to combat worker alienation. A significant focus is on the National Socialists' efforts to revive the German work ethic and integrate workers into the Volk community, revealing how these policies relate to the appeal of Nazism. The author also explores the interplay between social and intellectual transformations during this period.
