Revisiting How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic Against Workers (with Elizabeth Anserson)

Americans have been told that working harder is the path to dignity, security, and success. But what if that promise was hijacked? This week, we're revisiting our episode with Professor Elizabeth Anderson, where she exposes how neoliberalism weaponized the “work ethic” — transforming a moral tradition that once honored workers into a system that blames them, exploits them, and rewards extraction over contribution. Drawing from her new book Hijacked, Anderson traces how today's economy punishes labor, glorifies predatory wealth, and rigs the rules against working people — and what it would take to take the work ethic back. Elizabeth Anderson is the Max Mendel Shaye Professor of Public Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at University of Michigan. She is the author of Value in Ethics and Economics, The Imperative of Integration, and Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives (and Why We Don't Talk about It). She is a MacArthur Fellow and Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The Productisation Imperative Framework

CURIOUS ROOSTER

The Productisation Imperative: A Survival Guide for the AI EraIntroduction: The Unseen Threat to Your ExpertiseIn an AI-driven world, your expertise is not merely at risk—it is actively being targeted for absorption. If it remains unstructured, locked away in your mind or scattered across informal conversations, it will be hijacked by AI systems or rendered invisible in a revolution moving faster than you can react. The core tension of this new era is not that AI replaces incompetence, but that it actively "hijacks un-productised competence."Current debates around AI's impact are a tsunami of confusion, with critics and advocates arguing past each other, attacking concepts that haven't been clearly defined or separated. This guide cuts through the noise. Its purpose is to provide a clear, structured framework for understanding the "Productisation Imperative"—a critical strategy for securing your value and thriving in the age of AI.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Why the AI Debate Is So ConfusedThe central reason for the confusion in the public discourse on AI's impact is a consistent misinterpretation of the concepts at play. Critics frequently make category errors, leading to flawed arguments that miss the core issue.This confusion stems from a failure to distinguish between a strategic necessity, an economic model, and an academic field. Specifically:* An imperative is being attacked as if it were a business model.* A business model is being attacked as if it were an academic claim.* Studies are being attacked as if they were marketing rhetoric.To have a productive conversation, we must first separate these ideas. The solution is a simple, three-layer framework that brings clarity to the discussion.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------2. The Solution: A Three-Layer Framework for ClarityThe key to a coherent discussion is to explicitly separate the three interconnected but distinct layers of productisation. Each layer builds on the one before it, answering a different fundamental question.Productisation Imperative → PIBM → Productisation StudiesThis framework allows us to analyze each component on its own terms, preventing the category errors that plague the current debate.Layer Primary Purpose Core Question it AnswersLayer 1: The Productisation Imperative Survival Mandate Why is this essential for survival?Layer 2: PIBM Economic Design How can structured intelligence create value?Layer 3: Productisation Studies Analytical Discipline What is this phenomenon and how can we classify it?By understanding this separation, we can move from confusion to clarity. Let's explore each layer in detail, starting with the foundation.-------------------------------------------------Conclusion: From Theory to Reality in a Zero-Click WorldThis three-layer framework is not just a theoretical exercise; it is a map for navigating our current reality. This is not theoretical. When AI systems mislabel a creator like Lea Turner as a "coach" in a widely-circulated list—despite her explicit profile information stating otherwise—we see a "narrative control crisis" in real-time. Without a productised, machine-readable identity to serve as the definitive source, your professional narrative is subject to being overwritten by automated systems.

In "Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform", Joe Lynch and Shane Hagen, Presales Solutions Architect at Cleo, discuss the necessity of transitioning from traditional EDI to a unified platform for strategic supply chain orchestration and superior visibility. About Shane Hagen Shane Hagen is a Presales Solutions Architect at Cleo. He designs integration solutions that seamlessly connect internal applications with external partners, leveraging both API and EDI integration patterns. Cleo's customers rely on Shane to solve complex supply-chain challenges, trusting him to bridge the gap between business objectives and technical execution. With over eight years of experience in the integration space—including a prior role at Boomi—Shane brings deep expertise in modern connectivity and enterprise workflow design. He holds a computer science degree from Penn State University. About Cleo Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) is a cloud-based integration platform, that allows organizations to build, operate, and optimize critical supply chain orchestration processes. The CIC platform brings end-to-end integration visibility across API, EDI, and non-EDI integrations, giving technical and business users the confidence to rapidly onboard trading partners, enable integration between applications, and accelerate revenue-generation. As a supply chain orchestration software company focused on business outcomes, Cleo's focus is to ensure each customer's potential is realized by delivering strategic solutions that make it easy to discover and create value through the movement and integration of B2B enterprise data. Key Takeaways: Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform In "Why It's Time to Expect More from Your EDI Platform", Joe Lynch and Shane Hagen, Presales Solutions Architect at Cleo, discuss the necessity of transitioning from traditional EDI to a unified platform for strategic supply chain orchestration and superior visibility. The Imperative for Seamless System Connectivity The penalty for not connecting internal systems directly to external business partners is severe: it forces manual entry, leading to processes that are time-consuming, slow, unreliable, and prone to error. Organizations must expect their EDI platform to eliminate this manual burden and ensure robust, automated data exchange. Shift from Transaction Processing to Supply Chain Orchestration Expect your platform to evolve beyond simple data exchange to become a strategic tool for supply chain orchestration. Modern cloud platforms, like Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC), manage, operate, and optimize critical B2B enterprise data movement across the entire network, driving strategic business outcomes. Enabling Profitable Partner Relationships Through Speed Working with a powerful integration platform like Cleo is the key to accelerating growth. It directly enables companies to onboard new customers, suppliers, and business partners significantly faster, which is foundational to building more prosperous, high-velocity relationships. Hybrid Integration is the New Standard (API + EDI) The complexities of the modern supply chain require integration solutions that seamlessly blend traditional EDI with contemporary API patterns. A high-value platform must provide a unified environment for designing complex, end-to-end workflows that leverage both types of connectivity.

Achieving this will demand that the other services support the Space Force and Space Command, which is a departure from the traditional notion of spacepower acting to empower terrestrial actions. This necessary evolution has major implications when it comes to strategy, operational concepts, command relations, technology investments, and basic warfighting attitudes. Joining the discussion is Maj. Gen. Brook “Tank” Leonard, USAF (Ret.), the inaugural Chief of Staff of U.S. Space Command.

Oncology Peer Review On-The-Go

In the most recent ONCOLOGY On the Go hosted in collaboration with the American Psychosocial Oncology Society, Daniel C. McFarland, DO, spoke with Charles S. Kamen, PhD, MPH, about health equity for sexual and gender minority groups in oncology. Sexual and gender minority groups, who constitute approximately 9.3% of the US population, experience significant and preventable disparities across all stages of the cancer care continuum, according to Kamen.1 He detailed how these inequities are largely driven by minority stress: the chronic psychological and emotional burden resulting from anticipated and experienced prejudice, discrimination, and stigma within health care settings.2 McFarland and Kamen highlighted that a lack of comprehensive sexual and gender minority training in medical education often leaves clinicians feeling unprepared, compounding the patient's anxiety and mistrust. The path to correcting these disparities requires a fundamental shift to cultural humility: the readiness to acknowledge one's own lack of knowledge and learn directly from the patient's lived experience. The most critical, actionable step discussed was the systematic, safe, and affirmative collection of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data.3 Kamen emphasized that SOGI data is a clinical tool, not just a demographic marker. When collected routinely—ideally non-verbally via intake forms—SOGI data are used to: Ensure Biologically Appropriate Surveillance: Confirming that all necessary cancer screenings are offered based on the patient's existing organs, regardless of current gender identity. Facilitate Relationship-Centered Care: Appropriately recognizing and engaging the patient's partners and chosen family; a critical component of sexual and gender minority support networks. Tailored Psychosocial Navigation: Moving beyond a general "disparities mindset" to an "equity mindset" by using SOGI data to connect patients with LGBTQ-specific psychosocial resources that directly address discrimination-related distress drivers. McFarland is the director of the Psycho-Oncology Program at Wilmot Cancer Center and a medical oncologist who specializes in head, neck, and lung cancer, in addition to being the psycho-oncology editorial advisory board member for the journal ONCOLOGY. Kamen is an associate professor in the Department of Surgery, Cancer Control (SMD) and holds joint appointments as an associate professor at the Center for Community Health and Prevention and the Department of Psychiatry (SMD) at the University of Rochester Medical Center.

At the dawn of the 20th century, American finance looked modern—telegraphs, syndicates, Wall Street empires—but it had no brakes. In this episode of Built to Divide, host Dimitrius Lynch follows the chain reaction from the Panic of 1907 to the creation of the Federal Reserve, revealing how crises, central banking, and policy choices concentrated power at the top and quietly reshaped who gets to own a home in America.We move from J.P. Morgan locking bankers in his library to stabilize markets, to the secret Jekyll Island meeting that birthed the blueprint for the Fed, to a global financial order built on austerity, gold, and central banks. Lynch unpacks how this shift—from robber barons to central bankers—centralized control over money and credit, setting the stage for a financial system that could either stabilize the economy or supercharge inequality.In parallel, the episode traces a second, brutal story: the clash between slave labor and wage labor, the Civil War, broken promises like Special Field Orders No. 15, Reconstruction, the 13th and 14th Amendments, and the massive land giveaways of the Homestead and Railway Acts that seeded a two-track wealth system. That system was later hardened by Black Codes, Jim Crow, and the rise of the National Association of Realtors, whose restrictive covenants and ethics codes turned racism and class exclusion into standard practice.As Lynch connects the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, Hoover's homeownership gospel, and New Deal housing programs—HOLC, FHA, Fannie Mae—listeners see how federal support for mortgages expanded opportunity for some while redlining, racial covenants, and “good neighborhood” ideology locked others out. Housing was transformed into a mass wealth engine built on division.This episode is a deep dive into how central banking, war finance, slavery, segregation, real estate professionalization, and federal housing policy fused into a system where housing isn't just shelter or asset—it's a sorting mechanism. If you want to understand why today's housing market feels rigged, this chapter shows how the rig was built.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.
