Ep 3: Do people need to work?

from Un-Assuming: We can't build a new world on the beliefs that made the old one · host Karen Phelan

Join guests Jeannie Coyle and John Schuster as we discuss the nature of work. For many, work provides a purpose and an identity. Yet, many jobs and even professions are disappearing with automation and AI. Some governments are experimenting with UBI to compensate for the lack of jobs. But is work solely about earnings or do people need work to have happy and productive lives? And does the type of work matter?
