Work Won't Love You Back with Sarah Jaffe

This week we’re diving to the very core of the capitalist economy and well most economics- Work. Your 9-5, that zero hours contract your bread making, back breaking labour. We spend alot of time wondering what work we can do to save the planet but do we need work in the traditional sense at all?  And does our emotional response to work make it harder to demand better conditions?This week on the show  we are joined by Labour Journalist and author of the fantastic book “ Work wont love you back” Sarah Jaffe. We discuss what Labour Journalism is,  why  "work" is defined by some labour and not others and is the Green New Deal just trying to revive the Fordist bargain for white men?LinksMariame Kabahttp://mariamekaba.com/ US Representative Cori Bush on the eviction moratorium and the shame and power of poverty https://theintercept.com/2021/08/06/deconstructed-cori-bush-eviction-poverty/farewell to the factory by Ruth Milkmanhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/617394.Farewell_to_the_FactoryShout outsAmelia Horgan- Lost in work https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745340913/lost-in-work/@AmeliaHorganPhil Jones- work without the worker https://www.versobooks.com/books/3869-work-without-the-worker@philjones7771Rubicund- radical book shop in Falmouth @larubicund George Julian - who is a campaigner for open justice and tweets from inquests.
