/548/ Post-Legitimate Society ft. Will Charles

On the gig economy, big tech, and ideology.

Sociologist Will Charles talks to Alex about a form of social organisation that has stopped trying to justify itself.

  • How should the gig economy work and how does it actually work?

  • Is any worker in this economy a 'true believer'?

  • Why isn't digital sophistication a proof of economic efficiency?

  • What's the relationship between secular stagnation, value capture, and rentierism?

  • Do workers hold to a latent moral economy that could provide the basis for revolt?
