Using his unique combination of persistence, persuasion and wit, he was instrumental in setting up the AMUW education program (in partnership with Laurie Carmichael and Bob Richardson), and his work was crucial to transforming the standards and work practices of many national industries."

16.01.2022 It looks like it's going to be a while til we can run our documentary nights again but luckily Adam Curtis' new documentary series just dropped in the middle of the lock-down. His last film, Hypernormalisation, was finished just before the election of Trump in 2016. It went some of the way to explaining how political spectacle had come to stand in for material politics in the 21st century. His latest series touches on familiar topics of conspiracy theories, individualism, A...yn Rand and the confusing shifts of both real power and kayfabe. Watch along while you're stuck at home til we can have you back in the store again. Episode 1 in the comments. Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thd5bBUNEw8

01.01.2022 Back in 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes prophesied that by the century's end, technology would see us all working fifteen-hour weeks. But instead, something curious happened. Today, average working hours have not decreased, but increased. And now, across the developed world, three-quarters of all jobs are in services or admin, jobs that don't seem to add anything to society: bullshit jobs. In Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber explores how this phenomenon - one more associa...ted with the 20th-century Soviet Union, but which capitalism was supposed to eliminate - has happened. In doing so, he looks at how we value work, and how, rather than being productive, work has become an end in itself; the way such work maintains the current broken system of finance capital; and, finally, how we can get out of it. https://nibs.org.au//2/9/29/92vql7gbq9l4j7hvv5lkuoqt5v15jp
