Az európai történelem egyik problémája: a munka
Work as a Problem of European History

Summary/Abstract: Interpretations and ways of looking at things developed over centuries do not break apart in a single generation; this also applies to the high esteem European culture typically has for work. The dynamic continuity of the capitalist economic system is unbroken (with unpredictable results) and with it, market-mediated work done for a living continues as it developed to become normality in the 19-th century. On the other hand, the era of industrialization is over. Globalization and the communications revolution are changing life. This may mean that the system of work typical for the past two centuries has outlived itself - at least in some respects. Some new developments, like the renewed intertwining of work done for a living with the family or household, or the ever more frequent segmentation of work biographies, looks like a return to pre-industrial patterns.
