39. W**K Won’t Love You Back with Sarah Jaffe

Episode Summary

Sarah Jaffe is a journalist who has made a living by extensively covering labor and labor politics for the New York Times, The Nation, the Guardian, the Washington Post, the New Republic, the Atlantic. In her studies she unravels a myriad of reasons as to why work is “killing” us and examines this “labor of love” myth — the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. In conversation with Sarah Faith Gottesdiener, this episode brings a microscope to exploitive capitalist power structures, where the line is between power and abuse, and the way capitalism has brought down haunting limitations on all of us.    Sarah Jaffe Site: https://sarahljaffe.com/ Sarah Jaffe Books: https://sarahljaffe.com/publication-type/book/ Modern Witches Confluence: https://modernwitches.org/ Embodying Abundance Course: https://modernwomenprojects.com/products/embodying-abundance-online-course-sept21 Support our patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/themoonstudio Sign up for our newsletter: https://modernwomenprojects.com/pages/newsletter Follow Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gottesss/ Visit our shop: https://modernwomenprojects.com/collections/all
