The tensions between democracy and capitalism are longstanding, and they have been laid bare by the social effects of COVID-19. The narrative of \u201cessential workers\u201d has provided thin cover for the fact that society\u2019s lowest paid and least empowered continue to work risky jobs that keep our capitalism humming. Democracy has been subjugated by the demands of capitalism. For many, work has become unfair.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-family: Spartan;font-size: 17px;line-height: 1.5\">In&nbsp;<em>Democratize Work<\/em>, essays from a dozen social scientists\u2014all women\u2014articulate the perils and frustrations of our collective moment, while also framing the current crisis as an opportunity for renewal and transformation. Amid mounting inequalities tied to race, gender, and class\u2014and with huge implications for the ecological fate of the planet\u2014the authors detail how adjustments in how we organize work can lead to sweeping reconciliation. By treating workers as citizens, treating work as something other than an asset, and treating the planet as something to be cared for, a better way is attainable. Building on cross-disciplinary research,&nbsp;<em>Democratize Work&nbsp;<\/em>is both a rallying cry and an architecture for a sustainable economy that fits the democratic project of our societies.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"fonts-plugin-block \" style=\"font-family: Spartan;font-size: 17px;line-height: 1.5\">Contributors include <strong>Alyssa Battistoni<\/strong> (Barnard College of Columbia University), <strong>Adelle Blackett<\/strong> (McGill University), <strong>Julia Cag\u00e9<\/strong> (Sciences Po), <strong>Neera Chandhoke<\/strong> (University of Delhi), <strong>Lisa Herzog<\/strong> (University of Groningen), <strong>Imge Kaya Sabanci<\/strong> (IE Business School), <strong>Sara Lafuente<\/strong> (European Trade Union Institute), <strong>H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Landemore <\/strong>(Yale University), <strong>Fl\u00e1via M\u00e1ximo<\/strong> (Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, Brazil), and <strong>Pavlina R.
