Winner of the William G. Bowen PrizeNamed a "Triumph" of 2018 by New York Times Book Critics
Shortlisted for the 800-CEO-READ Business Book Award The untold history of the surprising origins of the "gig economy"--how deliberate decisions made by consultants and CEOs in the 50s and 60s upended the stability of the workplace and the lives of millions of working men and women in postwar America. Over the last fifty years, job security has cratered as the institutions that insulated us from volatility have been swept aside by a fervent belief in the market. Now every working person in America today asks the same question: how secure is my job? In Temp, Louis Hyman explains how we got to this precarious position and traces the real origins of the gig economy: it was created not by accident, but by choice through a series of deliberate decisions by consultants and CEOs--long before the digital revolution. Uber is not the cause of insecurity and inequality in our country, and neither is the rest of the gig economy. The answer to our growing problems goes deeper than apps, further back than outsourcing and downsizing, and contests the most essential assumptions we have about how our businesses should work. As we make choices about the future, we need to understand our past.

This is a great gift for our dog, but thank goodness she doesn't read.
Size: Newspaper 4 PCS
My puppy loves toys with crackling noises and I purchased these crackling papers. These are well sewn together, double sided and I have not had any problem with these tearing or shredding by her sharp baby teeth. On looking at the "paper" it seems to have articles for a mother of a human baby. The articles have many misspellings and are funny because of that. Since my puppy doesn't have dyslexia, she doesn't seem to notice the errors and enjoys playing with these and dragging them around our home.

Must supervise use
Size: Newspaper 4 PCS
Perfect concept for my puppy golden doodle who loves getting into paper and paper towels. He was obsessed with it when i gave it to him. However 2 minutes later i had to take it from him because he ate through the sheet like nothing. You have to supervise this toy with your baby. Good thing they give you 4! You’ll get about 8 minutes out of this toy. Cute for a party or something though.
