This paper aims at analysing some aspects of work and globalization from historical perspective with an intention to better understand neoliberal globalization challenges of the last 30–40 years. The trade globalization, which united the world in the 16th century, was followed by the industrial globalization with decisive transformation of the work area, for instance, marginalizing the agriculture. The post-1945 globalization is more complex, although based on technological-scientifi c revolutions, it is characterized by other important dimensions: geopolitical, economic (fi nancial), socio-cultural, environmental, and some of them have disturbing consequences for the work area. Among them I discuss the President Trump’s rejection of neoliberal globalization, which resulted in the “export” of millions of jobs from USA to China, the collapse of the middle class and populist reactions of the general public and in the world of politics. Meanwhile the work area is full of uncertainty, but the situation is diff erent in diff erent parts of the world.
