+### Labour process theory
+
+</summary>
+
+When discussing the ‘platform society’ (see entry), you were introduced to ‘labour process’ and ‘labour process theory’. The labour process simply refers to the relationships between different groups of workers, and between workers and their tools. Labour process theory (Braverman 1974) is an analysis of mid-20th century workplaces in the US. It focuses on the separation between manual and mental labour, on how technologies are used to support that separation, and on how workers might become alienated from their skills. This theory remains relevant, especially as AI is introduced into more and more workplaces.
