This week, Grace speaks to Amelia Horgan, Philosophy PhD candidate researching the politics of work and author ofLost in Work: Escaping Capitalism. They discuss the changing nature of work in the UK and around the world, how these trends have been impacted by the pandemic, and whether it’s possible to imagine "good work" under capitalism.
