Notes

1. See, e.g., Evers/Nowotny, Über den Umgang mit Unsicherheit, or Ewald, L’Etat providence.

2. The notion that, in worlds of similarity, uniqueness is based on the tiniest differences has been familiar in sociology since the classic works of scholars such as Thorstein Veblen and Georg Simmel.

3. The following account is based on two important new studies of the situation of the “service proletariat” in Germany by Friederike Bahl, Lebensmodelle in der Dienstleistungsgesellschaft, and Philipp Staab, Macht und Herrschaft in der Servicewelt.

4. The data on this employment segment comes from Oesch, Redrawing the Class Map, p. 126.

5. This doesn’t rule out the possibility of packages being in transit for a week because they’ve inexplicably been transferred from one private delivery firm to another.

6. Baumol, “Macroeconomics of Unbalanced Growth,” pp. 416–26.

7. Oesch calculated that a total of 62 percent of the people employed in routine services are women, while 80 percent of the equal-ranking industrial workforce is male (see Oesch, Redrawing the Class Map, p. 88).

8. According to Oesch, only 18 percent of these employees are members of a trade union, whereas the figure for “routine” industrial workers is 39 percent (Oesch, Redrawing the Class Map, p. 168).
