Abstract

We aim to provide a critical review of the issue of labor relations as presented in the work of the Italian sociologist Domenico de Masi. Titled The World Is Still Young, the book addresses problems related to our current society and its constant and turbulent progress. Divided into ten chapters, the author, through the inquiries of journalist Maria Serena Palieri, discusses themes related to this problem and its perspectives for the future. Masi has made significant contributions through his works to our understanding of the context of work in the world and the world of work. Let us examine, through this author, what we can do to try to change this reality, based on an understanding and critique of this work, which we analyze through a sociological lens.
