Lost in Work: Escaping Capitalism by Amelia Horgan
3.5
“The wealthy, while benefiting from the inequality that allows them to live well while paying others a pittance, must cope with the fear that comes from being at the top of a hierarchy: the fear not only that this power will be lost, but that it is undeserved, that those ‘beneath’ you, know enough about you to destroy you.”
Very much a beginners discussion into capitalism and work, but its against a backdrop of England, in which the class divide couldn't be any more apparent. I enjoyed it for what it was, but more often than not, I find myself saying "this could have been longer" and "this could have been the focal point". I did enjoy the short snippet of the neoliberal hellscape and how that has affected education as I am studying to be a teacher and unfortunately so much of my study revolves around how neoliberalism is destroying education and making it a business rather than a place of education :) not at all angry about that!
