Work, capitalism and working class

from Taylorism-Fordism to uberized Toyotism

Abstract

This article focused, through bibliographic research, on the task of developing a brief historical overview about the evolution of the Work category, contemplating elements of Marxian thought until the present time marked by its precariousness, in the midst of the Economy of Sharing (EC), an economic modality that has exacerbated the uberization of work. When resorting to Marxist theory, us, researchers dwarves try to climb on the shoulders of giant authors, in an effort to see a little further the nuances that make up the vast kaleidoscope that surrounds the theme. After all, what is work? How can we define it? What elements could not be neglected when creating a brief historical overview of its evolution, from the elaborations of Marx and Engels to the present, marked by uberization and precariousness?
