Hello, everyone. Welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host, as always, Ricardo Lopez, and today I'm joined for a second time by Dr. John Wisman. He's Professor of Economics at the American University in Washington, DC. And today we're going to talk about his latest book. Вайвимостворк економік фрідом фолфілінворк. And workplace democracy. So, Doctor Wisman, welcome back to the show. It's always a great pleasure to have you one. Well, thank you very much, Ricardo, for having invited me. I'm very pleased to be back with you. Yes, so um let's let me start with this question, since your book is on the topic of
work and you're a professor of economics. What is work? I mean, how do you approach work as a concept? And uh What would you say is a broader understanding of work than What we
are familiar with in modern industrialized societies that is Celive Work. Just before I answer or address that question, I I'd like to make mention, uh, just to put everything into full context, that this book on work is a sequel to my earlier book on that you interviewed me on, which was The Origins and Dynamics of Inequality Sex Politics.
