The world of work wasn''t always what it is today. Just a few thousand years ago, all the necessities for life could be collected in 15 hours a week. How did we go from hunter-gatherer society to white-collar rat race? Today, many people work in jobs with titles that would have baffled our ancestors: creative director, logistics coordinator or social media curator. Based on his immensely popular Bartleby Economist column, Philip Coggan rewrites the rules of work to help ordinary workers and their managers get through the week. Incisive, original, and endlessly droll, this is the guide for beleaguered underlings and harried higher-ups alike. As Rousseau might have said: "Man was born free, but is everywhere stuck in a meeting."
