Do Employers Rule Our Lives?

Free Thoughts

About this episode

Elizabeth Anderson joins us to talk about her new book, Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives (and Why We Don’t Talk About It).

How has the nature of employment changed throughout history? Is the typical American workplace a dictatorship? Do we need a worker’s bill of rights?

Show Notes and Further Reading

Anderson’s book is available here.

Here’s our previous episode with Prof. Anderson, on egalitarianism and the distribution of resources in a society.
