Winner of the William G. Bowen Prize
Named 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.

Terrible quality, broke in less than 3hrs of use
Color: Tan Natural, Color: Tan Natural
For the price point, this product really sucked. Guys not even less than 3hrs of use the compact broke into tiny pieces and I had to cover it with the sponge that comes along with the compact to prevent from further breakage. The coverage is good, it blends well into the skin and has a natural finish, but the actual value for money is NOT THERE. If you want to pay this much for a foundation compact that is also good for your skin then just go for the Westman Atelier Pressed Skincare Powder.

Not my favorite.
Color: Medium Sand
I wanted to like this foundation, but it ended up being too drying on my skin. The finish looks chalky rather than smooth, which makes it hard to get a natural look. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work well for mE.
