In this chapter, I argue that the rise of precarious (part-time, casualized, temporary) labour in the era of globalization (roughly 1990– present) cannot be separated from the financialization of economic, political, social and cultural life. … Both illustrate the deep relationship between financialization and the liquidation of social bonds. Yet I also argue that precariousness may be a common ground for solidarity and possibility beyond the horizon of financialization.
