Labour Law Utopias: Post-Growth & Post-Productive Work Approaches engages with new socioeconomic ideas that look beyond the current growth-driven competitive market economy. Building on analysis of economic growth, as well as the limits of the logic of human productivity and competitivity for workers and the environment, it explores alternative approaches and what those will mean for work in general, and labour law in particular.
The concept of 'post-growth' is used to rethink the purpose of the economy by looking beyond merely increasing wealth, consumption, and production, considering what this means for the position of work in society as well as the individual worker. The post-productive work approach is used to question the centrality of economically productive work and its regulation in labour laws. The chapters in this book take a progressive approach and discuss whether and how labour law can contribute to the emancipation of work from the constraints of growth and productivity by revisiting the value, organization, and impact of work. With these utopian ideas for labour law, the contributions in this book present inspirational 'dots on the horizon' that could guide the direction of changes in labour law as it navigates issues such as the implementation of digital and green solutions, the energy crisis, migration, rising inequality, and precariousness.

Labour Law's Utopias is an erudite and thought-provoking addition to labour law scholarship, bringing important theoretical perspectives to bear on wicked problems of labour law and policy. Treating utopia as a method, the editors and the excellent group of contributors they have assembled offer compelling and imaginative approaches to labour law that do not reduce work simply to a productive activity valued for its impact in growing the economy. This collection demonstrates that utopian thinking in labour law scholarship is precisely what is needed now.
