'Workism'

Sarah Best

17th June 2019

The Ezra Klein Show is a podcast from Vox that covers a wide range of issues that could be used in sociology.

This particular episode focuses on 'workism' and the idea that, in contemporary society, work forms part of our identity.

This episode could be given to students as part of extension work for the Work, Poverty and Welfare, or to provide context for Theory and Methods (Weber, capitalism, Marxism).
