Abstract

The article highlights the development & stabilization of extreme right-wing positions in the work sphere. The core assumption is that the tendency of recommodification of labor, which is characteristic for highly developed economies these days, undermines the social integrative dimension of gainful employment. This is one reason for the new phenomenon of right-wing populism, which can be increasingly found among blue-collar as well as white-collar workers. Well-meant strategies in companies & administrative authorities to inhibit racism are mostly ineffective or even counterproductive because they fail to identify the proper reasons for racist prejudices at work. Effective strategies should aim at stopping the tendency of recommodification through new modes of social reembedding. 29 References. Adapted from the source document.
