Document Details : Title: Economic Change and Solidarity in the European Union Author(s): SWEENEY, John Journal: Ethical Perspectives Volume: 1 Issue: 4 Date: December 1994 Pages: 159-168 DOI: 10.2143/EP.1.4.630063 Abstract : The world of work is undergoing major surgery. Future economic historians may yet describe the cumulative impact of globalisation, technological change and new work patterns that are currently shaking the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries as an economic revolution similar in magnitude and significance to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. There is certainly plenty of pain around, but scattered in so many countries and cultures that this late 20th century revolution will probably prove to have been beyond the capacity of any Charles Dickens, or of a Marx and Engels, to chronicle. |
