Arbeit machen macht Arbeit

Book

The “Bremer Arbeit GmbH” (bag) manages the operational tasks of the labour market policy in Bremen. The anniversary booklet “creating work creates work” accounts for the work done during the past five years since the foundation of bag. In the second part “10,000 years of work – an interim result” a review on the entire cultural history of work is ventured: since Adam and Eve were driven away from paradise, mankind has to “earn his living in the sweat of his brow”. The transition from the paradisiac hunter-gatherer, who lived airily in the midst of nature to a hard-working life happened meanwhile 10,000 years ago. Time for an interim result.
