Abstract

Does humanity go towards a society without work? Whether due to robotization, the global economic crisis, and rising unemployment, and the work also (as well as history, geography, the state, the nation, family, religion, ideology...) will come to an end? What is the relationship of work and looting? Work and war? How general commercialization and corporatization affect the work? Whether new economic imperialism or new slavery is on the horizon? Neo-feudalism? Neo-mercantilism? What is the future of postmodernist experiment of deconstruction.
