Note on A Pro-Worker Work Ethic the Gray Area With Sean Illing via Apple Podcasts
Americans have absorbed the “Protestant work ethic” — the idea that our value as human beings is determined by how hard we work and how much money we make. Elizabeth Anderson explains how this evolved, why it pervades everything, and why it sucks.
From this discussion on the history of Neo-liberal and conservative work ethic:
Work is disciplined activity for the benefit of others.
I like that framing.
