【内容简介】

　　为什么有些职业既不道德又不体面，还有人抢着做？当工作不再享有尊严，我们是否有退出的选择？在这本讲述职业与不平等的非虚构著作中，作者援引了“脏活”的概念，即社会中不可或缺但被视为肮脏、下作的工作，如屠宰场的移民劳工。这些人无权无势、朝不保夕，还会遭受羞辱与良心谴责。而公众宁愿被蒙在鼓里。本书描述了“看不见的工作”背后，资本如何与权力、技术共谋，塑造了不平等的权力结构，揭示了工作中隐藏道德成本的真相。

【 Content Introduction 】

Why do some people rush to do some occupations that are both immoral and indecent? When work is no longer dignified, do we have an option to quit? In this nonfiction book about jobs and inequality, the author invokes the concept of "dirty work," jobs that are integral to society but are seen as dirty and inferior, such as migrant labor in slaughterhouses. These people are powerless, insecure, humiliated and ashamed. And the public would rather be kept in the dark. The book describes how capital conspires with power and technology behind "invisible work" to shape unequal power structures and reveal the truth about the hidden moral costs of work.
