- Abstract
- (en) Since the economic crisis of 2007-2008, the managerial discourse seems to be entered a phase of reconfiguration, where the consensual vision of participative management has been replaced by a discourse promoting disruption. The upheavals announced, associated with pessimism concerning the future of human work, constitute a “scourge of end”, whose purpose is to impose a libertarian vision of the world. This chapter proposes to analyse this phenomenon, thanks to a corpus composed of books dedicated to the future of work. Their authors described a society where wage labour, no longer corresponding to the realities of our time and to the social demand, must disappear to make way for uberization and where, due to the constant progress of artificial intelligence, the only valuable human skill will be empathy. This end of wage labour is legitimised by the will to finish with voluntary servitude and impose the ideal of liberal democracy. However, this discourse seems to want us to forget that, behind these phenomena, hide more powerful forms of alienation than wage labour.
