Abstract The history of capitalism in the United States since the crisis of the 1970s is marked by a process of global scope: the decline of industrialism. This represents the transition to a new era of capitalism as a mode of production. The US has experienced a set of interlocked processes, three of which are of fundamental interest for this article: the structural change from industrial to knowledge-based economy; the making of neoliberal policies that allowed for the financialisation of the economy and the weakening of unions; the transformation of the corporate model. Consequently, there is an intense downward pressure on wages, job quality and middle-class employment. This translates into the loss of benefits for workers and a decline in job security. This article addresses these processes through the lenses of an evolutionary theory of history. From this perspective, the observed changes are expressions of the transition to a post-industrial capitalism that entails destruction of old jobs and the creation of a pool of labour with limited bargaining capacity.

Abstract The relationship between work and leisure has significantly changed in various segments of the contemporary, digitalized labor market. This article explores the characteristics of the developments that contributed to an increasing indistinguishability of work and leisure. It also discusses theoretical concepts associated with this ambiguity, namely prosumption, playbor and gamification, taking into account the issue of motivation, remuneration and the linkages between an individual engaged in a given activity and other agents.

Abstract The SE approach can be extended to the Global Value Chain (GVC) case. Given recurring evidence that low value-added activities tend to take place in low-income nations while high value-added activities take place in high-income nations, much of the Global Value Chain literature advocates for firm-level economic upgrading as a national development strategy. The key observations of SE extend to the GVC case. As such, SE provides GVC literature with a more appropriate social and political context and explains the inconsistent outcomes of economic upgrading strategies. Furthermore, the SE lens allows us to conclude that ahistorical analysis may be favored among economists to, consciously or not, generate an illusion of legitimacy to inequality between the so-called ‘Global North’ and ‘Global South’. Ultimately, standard conclusions from SE suggest a wealth distributive policy approach, indicating that a move toward reparations and loan forgiveness may be a more effective strategy for national development.

Abstract Looking beyond the traditional national accounts and household-income-labour dynamics, this paper examines well-being from a conceptual and practical perspective. It builds upon the literature review and indicators including the Better Life Index, the Human Development Index, the Healthiest Countries Index, and the Happiness Index. Education, knowledge, skills, health, safety, and good employment are central drivers of well-being and life satisfaction. Job satisfaction is strongly correlated with health, family fulfilment, social relationships, good citizenship, job quality, and productivity at work. Quality of governance and appropriate employment policies positively influence job satisfaction and therefore other key determinants of well-being. Vice-versa, well-being measures represent valuable inputs for various policies and, besides, well-being positively influences health, longevity, and productivity. Given all these, the present paper has the following key objectives: (1) to synthesize the main dimensions of well-being, both from the subjective and objective standpoints; (2) to underline specific relationships between well-being, quality of governance, and employment policies; (3) to describe the performance of various countries in terms of well-being indexes; (4) to underscore current risks that jeopardize well-being.
