Mike talks with Jason Read, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southern Maine, about his book The Double Shift: Spinoza and Marx on the Politics of Work.
Topics Mike & Jason discuss include:
– work as a source of meaning and identity
– what Spinoza adds to Marx’s views on work
– what Fight Club, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul can tell us about work
– Gen X and the death of slacker culture
– why ‘selling out’ isn’t seen as such a bad thing anymore
– mythocracy and negative solidarity
