'A furious polemic . . . heady and optimistic.' 'A provocative book that challenges the subjective ways we approach willingness or capability to work. This will be an uncomfortable read for many, but raises important questions that need to be addressed in the modern technological era.' -- Lord David Blunkett 'Detailed, convincing and controversial. Massey does not mince his words: the British approach to determining whether one suffers work incapacity is counterproductive. An argument that merits careful consideration across the resource-advantaged world.' -- Nortin M. Hadler, Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Microbiology/Immunology at the University of North Carolina '[This book] will stimulate and enlighten any reader. ... Employers, politicians, employees, GPs, occupational health advisors and probably Joe public would do well to read this!' -- Personnel Today 'A most insightful read which provides a thought-provoking appreciation of the subject matter. ...especially relevant in the current day practice of medicine.' -- Journal of Occupational Medicine 'This thought-provoking polemic is both erudite and wickedly entertaining.' -- British Journal of General Practice
