Abstract

The article aims at commenting the three contributions included in the thematic section «The remaking of the labour power in a changing world of work». By moving across them, I outline the points that seem to me more challenging to labour sociologists and industrial relations scholars. In order to highlight the relevance of the three contributions, the article moves the focus from the US to another context, the Italian one, which is quite different from the first in several aspects. Some ideas of possible comparisons are also mentioned.
