Abstract

I examine here Offe’s thesis on the
heterogeneity of work in contemporary society.
I attempt to demonstrate, in opposition to
that argument, that wage work is not only not
disappearing, but is growing, extending itself
to services and the rural sector and becoming
even more uniform. It is provoking the growth
of abstract work, thanks in particular to
ongoing technological advances.
