The Wastage Of Work: How Should We Collectively Think About Jobs?

This is probably one of my beliefs that will annoy the most people.

In Episode #240 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why I think there is something wrong with the way that we all view 'jobs' as a necessity, why people work in the first case, how many people would stay at their job if they weren't getting paid, why paying for everything is the end goal, a Mexican parable and Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
