About this Event
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

He is an Associate Fellow of the Oxford internet Institute working on the Fairwork Project and the Digital Futures at Work Research Centre (Digit).
