Lost in Work***Evening Standard's best non fiction 2021*** 'A brilliant, searing expos of the lies underpinning work' Owen Jones 'Work hard, get paid.' It's simple. Self evident. But it's also a lie at least for most of us. For people today, the old assumptions are crumbling; hard work in school no longer guarantees a secure, well paying job in the future. Far from a gateway to riches and fulfilment, 'work' means precarity, anxiety and alienation. Amelia Horgan
