Abstract:It is argued in this paper that the manufacture of specific kinds of uncertainty and risk has become central to programmes of work flexibilization. The construction of a risk-uncertainty relation has underpinned a raft of managerial doctrines on the worker as entrepreneur. The dominant representation of risk is outlined as an unavoidable symptom of globalization. Then the relationship between human capital risk management, as defined by management consultants, and the working practices restructured in their name is explored.
