In the previous stage, which fully agrees with the Fordist era, people were basically what they did in the world of work and that to was the center from which daily life was organized. The problem is that, from the new rules, the structure tends to be forming a dual-type model: included / excluded. The work, which in an earlier era was considered the duty of the adult male is transformed into a scarce commodity. The message: no to all come from many directions.
