1. The Precariat
The New Dangerous Class
A sociopolitical analysis that identifies a growing class of people trapped in insecure, irregular employment and deprived of stable identities, rights, and prospects; it argues this precarity produces economic insecurity, social exclusion and political anger, traces causes such as neoliberal labor-market changes and globalization, and advocates policy remedies — stronger social protections, labor rights, income security (including proposals like basic income), education and redistribution — to restore stability and democratic inclusion.
