A pro-worker work ethic
The Gray Area with Sean Illing
The revival of conservative work ethic and neoliberalism
The typical business is deeply set in economic theory and constantly seeks productive efficiencies and profit opportunities. This represents a modern version of the 17th century ideology that everyone should always seek more opportunities for profit.
