David Etherington provides bold and fresh perspectives on the link between welfare policy and employment relations as he assesses their fundamental impact on social inequalities. Exploring how reforms, including Universal Credit, have reinforced employment and social insecurity, he assesses the role of NGOs, trade unions and policymakers in challenging this increasingly work-focused welfare agenda. Drawing on international and national case studies, the book reviews developments, including rising job insecurity, low pay and geographical inequalities, considered integral to neoliberal approaches to social spending. Etherington sets out the possibilities and challenges of alternative approaches and progressive new paths for welfare, the labour market and social rights.
In this lavishly illustrated book, the renowned London Gallerist David Gill reveals his personal perspective and influence on the world of design-art. He also presents the works of artists, sculptors, and designers he admires, champions, and nurtures, among them Barnaby Barford, Mattia Bonetti, the Campana brothers Zaha Hadid, Donald Judd, Jorge Pardo, Grayson Perry, and Fredrikson Stallard. In addition, the book features previously unseen photographs of his galleries and exhibitions, his own designs, his curated interiors, and other rare glimpses of the private collections and homes of renowned collectors with whom Gill has had relationships over a quarter of a century. It also includes photographs of his private collections in his own homes: a converted handbag factory south of the River Thames; the eighteenth-century Albany apartments in London's Mayfair, and his latest home, a restored palazzo in Valletta, the capital of Malta.
