MATTHEW COLE: UNPAID

Join us as we trace the long history of stolen wages & the now ever-present scourge of algorithmic exploitation with lecturer & writer MATTHEW COLE & his powerful new personal-political Verso book UNPAID: THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF WAGE THEFT.

The event will be chaired by award-winning Birmingham-based journalist, DAN CAVE.

‘An absolutely essential guide to capitalist class relations. Unpaid unflinchingly catalogues the reality of labour exploitation under capitalism, presenting Marx's most important ideas in a clear, succinct and compelling way...’ GRACE BLAKELEY, author of VULTURE CAPITALISM

MATTHEW COLE is a Lecturer on Technology, Work and Employment at the University of Sussex, researching wage theft and technological change. He is an Associate Fellow of the Oxford internet Institute working on the Fairwork Project and the Digital Futures at Work Research Centre (Digit). His work has been published in Tribune, Novara, Vice, OpenDemocracy, The Independent, Salvage, and in various academic journals.
