Paul Mason - PostCapitalism: A Guide to our Future How technology and digitalization will reshape the way we work http://www.debalie.nl/agenda/podium/paul-mason-+- postcapitalism%3a-a-guide-to-our-future/e_9782530/p_11767445/ This program is in collaboration with FNV Mondiaal. *Permanent jobs are slowly disappearing from the world stage. More and more people are working independently or have flexible contracts. Fundamental workers’ rights are under pressure. Nearly 2 out of every 5 workers are already in some form of precarious work: a job without any security, quality or purchasing power. This is a worldwide trend, from hot start-ups in the centre of Amsterdam to the helpdesks of multinationals in India. * Are we fully able to comprehend the effects of flexibilisation, globalisation and digitalisation? What are the rights of the workers from the beginning to the end of the production chain? Are we able to offer countervailing power to multinational companies that are themselves employing fewer and fewer people? What is our relationship with colleagues in other countries? What role do trade unions play in this? After all, just like in the economy, the rights of workers do not stop at national borders. This is what we will discuss during the first programme of the series ‘Work nowadays: flexible or precarious?’ in association with Mondiaal FNV. With a.o.: *Paul Mason*, one of the world’s most renowned economics journalists, and writer of *Post Capitalism: A Guide to our Future that capitalism. **Ronald Dekker*, economist,* Coen van der Veer*, board member FNV and Mondiaal FNV and moderator *Esther van Rijswijk*.
