The debate around growing inequality is raging amongst economists, and Marxists are finding new ways to map-out the modern economy. Managerial Capitalism introduces a new way of understanding the changing structure of our economy through the emergence and behaviour of a new class - managers. In the post war years as social democracy reigned, managers tended to form compromises with workers. However, under neoliberalism, allegiances have shifted. Today, a new alliance is forming between managers and capitalist owners, changing the nature of the hierarchy of power under capitalism. Additionally, the authors argue, this is happening much faster and universally than was previously thought. By applying Marx's basic concepts to the reality of the system today, through the use of extensive data sets as well as firmly rooting the argument in its historical context, Managerial Capitalism updates Marxism for the twenty-first century, through showing how the modes of production today are shaped by a new class, that must be understood if it is to be challenged.

Des salariés ont pris une importance inédite dans l’encadrement du travail aujourd’hui. Consultants ou cadres de grandes organisations, Marie-Anne Dujarier les appelle les « planneurs », car ils sont mandatés pour améliorer la performance des entreprises et des services publics au moyen de plans abstraits, élaborés bien loin de ceux et de ce qu’ils encadrent. Spécialisés en méthodes, ressources humaines, contrôle de gestion, stratégie, systèmes d’information, marketing, finances, conduite du changement, ils diffusent et adaptent des dispositifs standardisés qui ordonnent aux autres travailleurs ce qu’ils doivent faire, comment et pourquoi. Management par objectifs, benchmarking, évaluation, lean management, systèmes informatiques, etc. cadrent ainsi l’activité quotidienne des travailleurs. Ces dispositifs instaurent un management désincarné que les salariés opérationnels jugent maladroit, voire « inhumain ». D’après leur expérience, il nuit autant à leur santé qu’à la qualité des produits et à la performance économique. Étonnamment, les planneurs et les dirigeants constatent eux aussi que cet encadrement joint trop souvent l’inutile au désagréable. Comment comprendre alors son succès ? Dans ce livre issu d’une longue recherche empirique, la sociologue Marie-Anne Dujarier analyse en détail le travail des faiseurs et diffuseurs de ces dispositifs, régulièrement accusés par les autres salariés de « planer » loin du travail réel. Elle montre qu’ils doivent accomplir une mission qui peut sembler impossible et dépourvue de sens, et explique comment ils y parviennent malgré tout, et avec zèle.
