Job Power: Blue and White Collar Democracy by David Jenkins is a groundbreaking examination of workplace democracy, arguing that the rigid, hierarchical structures governing both blue-collar factories and white-collar offices are not only inefficient but fundamentally at odds with human dignity and potential. Jenkins chronicles a sweeping survey of innovative organizational models from Scandinavia and beyond, presenting compelling real-world case studies where workers were granted genuine autonomy, and productivity and morale soared as a result. The New York Times called it an exciting and important book... could revolutionize work and organizational life in the United States and other countries — a verdict that speaks to the book's urgent, reformist energy.\n\nJenkins writes with the conviction of a seasoned investigative journalist, dismantling the mythology of top-down management with sharp analysis and vivid reportage. The book sits at the intersection of political philosophy, organizational theory, and labour history, making a powerful case that democratic principles need not stop at the factory gate or the office door. Decades after its first publication, its central thesis remains a provocation — in an era of increasing worker alienation and corporate power, Jenkins' vision of a truly democratic workplace feels less like history and more like an unfinished revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203260326107,"sku":"2026200015650-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/716170ee-3157-455c-b9c8-76b1d6d7fd9e.png?v=1788146692","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015650-secondhand-job-power-blue-and-white-collar-democracy","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
