The introduction was good, but then the first chapter went off on tangents that I couldn’t see the point of, and I didn’t fancy trying to wade my way through an entire book of that.
Fuck you, pay me. Saved you time reading this trash.
Audiobooks that clock in at 13 hours usually signal that I will start to disengage at some point, but that never happened here. I really appreciated the way Jaffe pulled about as many sectors of contemporary Western economy as she did to look at the ways capitalism has distorted our notions of work and exploited us. Oof. Happy Monday...

- Autonomy (UK), 2019 report (on climate change): “... provided current levels of carbon intensity of our economies and current levels of productivity, how much work can we afford.”… (lisätietoja)
