Relatedly, Behind the Bastards this week is on Jack Welch, and Part 2 is an *excellent* reminder that our current workplace / economic woes were made, not naturally occurring.
(Part 1 has solid parts related to how "welfare capitalism" used to be something that companies like General Electric celebrated, earning employee loyalty through a genuine investment in them - but you can also dive right into Part 2 to learn about the rise of modern toxic workplaces.)
