Features: Contemporary Workers in Western Europe is a national research project under the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" undertaken by the author. Its main purpose is to conduct a systematic investigation and study on the current status of the working class in developed industrial countries in Western Europe after the rise of the third technological and industrial revolution in the late 1970s. The core question this book seeks to answer is: When capitalism has developed into the post-Fordist era, does a working class still exist in Western European society? What are the new characteristics of this working class in the new era?
