Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Time, Work and Organization
Paul Blyton · 2017
65/100
👎 Skip It
A foundational academic collection that still earns its place on sociology-of-work syllabi, but the 1989 empirical base shows its age badly in any conversation about gig work, remote work, or platform labor. Dense scholarly prose puts a hard ceiling on its usefulness outside graduate courses. Worth seeking if your research touches this territory — but not a casual read.
