Leo Lucassen, Research director of the IISH and author of the book Vijf eeuwen migratie with his brother Jan Lucassen, debated with Professor Paul Scheffer in Buitenhof TV on migration and population growth in the Netherlands.
Can you influence population growth and how do you do that? Watch the debate (in Dutch):
In De wereld aan het werk. Van de prehistorie tot nu benadrukt Jan Lucassen dat werken niet alleen noodzaak is voor het menselijk bestaan. Het bevredigt ook een natuurlijke behoefte aan zinvol sociaal bezig zijn en is de oudste manier om zelfwaardering en waardering van anderen te krijgen. Die stelling leidt dan tot de opvatting dat werk één, of zelfs de meest, basale vorm van zingeving is. Naar aanleiding van zijn boek kwam de vraag naar voren of deze conclusie in zijn wereldgeschiedenis van werk niet vooral geënt is op een burgerlijk begrip van de betekenis van werk voor de mens, toen en nu.
Op 6 oktober vond de presentatie van De wereld aan het werk. Van de prehistorie tot nu van Jan Lucassen plaats op het IISG.
Wat verstaan we eigenlijk onder werk? Jan Lucassen verkent in De wereld aan het werk. Van de prehistorie tot nu hoe werk en arbeidsverhoudingen zich wereldwijd hebben ontwikkeld - van het tijdperk van de jager-verzamelaars tot nu.
