Imagining a more just economy with Nick Romeo

Every week on Hello Monday we talk about the nature of work. Today, we’re taking a look at the systems our work upholds. Here in the US it’s capitalism– an economic system where the show is largely run by private entities. It’s a system that’s often critiqued for making it easier for the wealthy to amass more wealth, without offering similar mobility for the working class. Today’s guest isn’t afraid to envision a new way of living and working. Nick Romeo is a writer for The New Yorker and the author of The Alternative: How To Build A Just Economy. In his book, Nick imagines a more sustainable economy and today he sits down with Jessi to discuss what that would take.Follow Nick Romeo on LinkedIn and check out his book here.
