About this book

This book offers a fresh perspective on work showing how past events, ideas, practices and values haunt organizations. In a contemporary context where organizations are ever more obsessed with growth and transformation, the book discovers a politics of time at the heart of questions about power and ethics. It develops a non-linear approach to the history of education showing what it means to inherit from previous generations and how encounters with ghosts can open possibilities of other, alternative futures. For academics and students across management, education, and sociology, the book is a crucial resource for understanding contemporary organizations. It invites you to find new ways to care for the future of work.
