The purpose of this study is to discuss the world of contemporary work, without ignoring their historical transformations in the search for answers off-axis market / commodity. It is intended sketch answers to questions like: work has always been the way we know it today? The work exists beyond the market? How will the job without jobs? In order to achieve this aim, we will seek to demonstrate, at first, the transformation of the working world, from pre- capitalist  stage,  to  the  contemporary  world,  marked  by  economic  globalization  and financialization of wealth. Face will be some aspects of the "crisis" of employment in the contemporary world, due to these changes, with the loss of work hegemony face of their frequent  subdivision  and  disqualification.  Finally,  they  discuss  will  be  possible  ways, especially the third sector and the need for cooperation and reunion of working with the community, unleashing up the human value of the productivity of ideas and consumption, directed solely to the market . It is hoped that raising the issue and establish some key points relevant to future insights.
