Work For Humans
The Progressive Work Ethic: What We Lost and How to Win It Back | Elizabeth Anderson

For centuries, the work ethic was used to justify inequality, but it also fueled a powerful movement for justice. In the final part of this series, Elizabeth Anderson and Dart Lindsley explore the progressive work ethic, a vision of labor rooted in dignity, equality, and shared prosperity. They trace how thinkers like Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, the Ricardian Socialists, and Karl Marx inspired reforms in education, labor rights, and social insurance, laying the foundation for social democracy. The conversation then turns to the neoliberal revival of the conservative work ethic, where leaders like Reagan and Thatcher redefined work to cut protections, concentrate power, and suppress wages. This isn't just history—it's a framework for how we treat work today.Elizabeth Anderson is a political philosopher known for her work on democracy, economic justice, and the ethics of work. Her latest book, Hijacked, explores how the work ethic was distorted by neoliberalism to undermine workers and how it can be reclaimed to support fairness and dignity in the workplace.In this episode, Dart and Elizabeth discuss:- How the progressive work ethic reshaped labor- Why Smith and Mill saw work as freedom, not control- How Marx and the Ricardian socialists fought for justice- The rise of worker protections and education- How neoliberalism shifted power to corporations- The fall of social democracy and its effects today- Reclaiming work as a source of dignity and fairness- And other topics…Professor Elizabeth Anderson specializes in moral and political philosophy, feminist theory, social epistemology, and the philosophy of economics. She holds the positions of Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women's & Gender Studies, and Max Shaye Professor of Public Philosophy at the University of Michigan. A MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, Elizabeth has written extensively on democracy, labor, and economic justice, including her latest book, Hijacked: How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic Against Workers and How Workers Can Take It Back. Resources Mentioned:Hijacked, by Elizabeth Anderson: https://www.amazon.com/Hijacked-Neoliberalism-against-Workers-Lectures/dp/1009275437The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith: https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Nations-Adam-Smith/dp/1505577128Principles of Political Economy, by John Stuart Mill: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Political-Economy-John-Stuart/dp/0678014531An Essay on the Principle of Population, by Thomas Malthus: https://www.amazon.com/Principle-Population-Oxford-Worlds-Classics/dp/0192837478Connect with Elizabeth:Profile: https://lsa.umich.edu/philosophy/people/faculty/eandersn.html Work with Dart:Dart is the CEO and co-founder of the work design firm 11fold.

The work ethic began as a religious principle before evolving into an economic theory. But by the 18th and 19th centuries, it had taken on a new role: a justification for social inequality. Thinkers like Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill saw work as a path to dignity and opportunity, while economists like Thomas Malthus and Nassau Senior argued that keeping wages low and limiting aid would encourage self-reliance. This perspective had real consequences, especially during the Irish Potato Famine, when relief efforts were deliberately restricted under the belief that hardship would force people to work. In Part 2 of this series, Elizabeth and Dart explore how the work ethic shifted from a moral belief to an economic tool.In this episode, Dart and Elizabeth discuss:- How the work ethic became a tool for control- Work as dignity vs. work as discipline- The idea that poverty keeps workers in line- The fear of rising wages and worker power- The Irish Potato Famine as a test of forced labor policies- How unemployment became a moral failure- Reclaiming work as a source of empowerment- And other topics...Professor Elizabeth Anderson specializes in moral and political philosophy, feminist theory, social epistemology, and the philosophy of economics.

Elizabeth Anderson is one of today's leading political philosophers and has spent years studying how the work ethic shapes our economy, society, and politics. In her latest book, Hijacked, she explores how hard work, a principle originally intended to advance the virtue of helping others, has been used by parts of society in ways that harm workers.This is the first of a three-part series tracing the history of the work ethic, from its religious roots in Martin Luther and the Reformation to its influence on modern policies like prison labor reform in California. In this episode, Elizabeth and Dart dig into the early history: how the Protestant Reformation shaped ideas about labor, how work became a moral obligation, and how these centuries-old ideas still shape our world today.In this episode, Dart and Elizabeth discuss:- How work became a divine duty- How Locke's labor theory shaped ideas of property and work- The work ethic as a moral weapon against the poor- The origins of blaming poverty on personal failure- Why we still measure human worth by productivity- How poor laws shaped early ideas of economic survival- The hidden influence of these ideas on work today- And other topics…Professor Elizabeth Anderson specializes in moral and political philosophy, feminist theory, social epistemology, and the philosophy of economics.

What is the work ethic? Does it justify policies that promote the wealth and power of the One Percent at workers' expense? Or does it advance policies that promote workers' dignity and standing? Hijacked: How Neoliberalism Turned the Work Ethic against Workers and How Workers Can Take It Back (Cambridge UP, 2023) explores how the history of political economy has been a contest between these two ideas about whom the work ethic is supposed to serve. Today's neoliberal ideology deploys the work ethic on behalf of the One Percent. However, workers and their advocates have long used the work ethic on behalf of ordinary people. By exposing the ideological roots of contemporary neoliberalism as a perversion of the seventeenth-century Protestant work ethic, Elizabeth Anderson shows how we can reclaim the original goals of the work ethic, and uplift ourselves again. Hijacked persuasively and powerfully demonstrates how ideas inspired by the work ethic informed debates among leading political economists of the past, and how these ideas can help us today.  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 (1995), The Imperative of Integration (2010), and Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives (and Why We Don't Talk about It) (2017). She is a MacArthur Fellow and Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2019, The New Yorker described her as 'a champion of the view that equality and freedom are mutually dependent [...] Anderson may be the philosopher best suited to this awkward moment in American life.'

Jeanne Proust has studied Humanities, Philosophy and Visual Arts in Bordeaux, Berlin, and Paris. She has been teaching Philosophy for the last 12 years in the US. Her PhD dissertation (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) focused on the pathologies of the willpower, both in philosophical and psychological perspectives, but her interests are wide: among many fields, she does research in Ethics, Philosophy of Technologies, Bioethics, Feminist theory, and Aesthetics. While teaching at different universities in New York, Jeanne is advocating for a widening of philosophical education beyond the Academia frontiers by participating in different events open to the general public. She taught at Rikers Island as a volunteer, and regularly gives public talks in philosophy, leading her to recently produce her own podcast, "Can You Phil It?”. She also collaborates with artists on her photography, drawing and painting works. She is currently working on articles at the crossroads of philosophy and psychology, and starting a new book project about contrasting feminist views on female sexual desire. Jeanne just moved to Santa Cruz, California, to teach as a lecturer for UCSC and to get involved with the Center for Public Philosophy.   Sources: https://jeanneproust.github.io/index.html https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanne-proust-74162b40/ https://www.instagram.com/can_you_phil_it_/?hl=fr Jeanne recently published an essay about FOMO in Nouma Magazine: https://www.noemamag.com/a-remedy-for-fomo/   I published my first article as an independent researcher.

The populist turn of the American right has created a policy affinity between nationalist conservatives and mainstream progressives. Both seem to agree that an emphasis on dynamism has undermined our economy's ability to prioritize workers, families, and communities. But in fact, the trouble facing America's heartland is more likely the result of a lack of dynamism than an excess of it. Guest Ryan Streeter joins us to make the case for dynamism in American culture and economic policy, and offer some paths to pursue it. Ryan Streeter is the director of domestic-policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. This podcast discusses themes from Ryan's essay in the Winter 2022 issue of National Affairs, “https://nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/dynamism-as-a-public-philosophy (Dynamism as a Public Philosophy).”

In the 2016 election, Donald Trump campaigned on a message of nationalism and economic populism. Since then, some Republicans have warmed to industrial policy, trade restrictions, and trust-busting. The dynamic, global economy, populists claim, has enriched coastal elites while leaving "real" America behind. In this episode of "Political Economy," I'm joined by Ryan Streeter to chat about the importance of a dynamic economy. Ryan is a senior fellow and director of domestic policy studies here at AEI.

We are familiar with practice as a method for getting better at something. But what if this idea was only one part of the importance of practice? What if a key aspect of practice was learning how to fail? Professors Anna Mudde and Robert Piercey (University of Regina) discuss what practices are and how they are essential in renewal and innovation, ideally preventing traditions and our own personal identities from stagnating and becoming rigid. Living Philosophy is brought to you by Philosophy2u.com.Host:Dr Todd MeiSponsors:Philosophy2u.comHillary Hutchinson, Career and Change Coach at Transitioning Your LifeMartin Bunzl, author of Thinking while WalkingHermeneutics in Real LifeGeoffrey Moore, author of The Infinite Staircase     Links Related to this Episode:Anna Mudde (website)Robert Piercey (website)Reading as Philosophical Practice (Amazon)colonialism (SEP)Canada and the Remains of Indigenous Children (NPR)practices and internal vs. external goods (IEP)Alasdair MacIntyre (Wikipedia)John Dewey and Pragmatism (SEP)Maria Lugones (Wikipedia)Charles Mills (Wikipedia)Music: Earth and the Moon, by KetsaLogo Art: Angela Silva, Dattura Studios

What is the difference between fake news and fiction? While we tend to deplore fake news, we often enlist fiction in the forms of stories, films, and literature to provide entertainment as well as moral and aesthetic edification. And yet, we also associate fake news with powerful political narratives. Prof. Hannah Kim (Macalester College) discusses the way facts relate to both mediums and what we can do to mitigate the problems of disinformation. Living Philosophy is brought to you by Philosophy2u.com.Host:Dr Todd MeiSponsors:Philosophy2u.comHillary Hutchinson, Career and Change Coach at Transitioning Your LifeMartin Bunzl, author of Thinking while WalkingHermeneutics in Real LifeGeoffrey Moore, author of The Infinite StaircaseLinks Related to this Episode:Hannah Kim (personal website)Philosophy of FictionAmie L.

Negative emotions—such as fear, anger, and envy—are often seen as the kinds of things that impede our abilities to lead the kind of life we wish—the good life. Given the proliferation of violence and interminable arguments fueled by negative emotions, we might think that we need to eliminate them from our lives or suppress them. Prof. Krista Thomason (Swarthmore College) discusses how negative emotions work and why trying to eliminate or suppress them might be a bad thing. In fact, the path to a good life might actually involve embracing them. Living Philosophy is brought to you by Philosophy2u.com.Host:Dr Todd MeiSponsors:Philosophy2u.comHillary Hutchinson, Career and Change Coach at Transitioning Your LifeMartin Bunzl, author of Thinking while WalkingHermeneutics in Real LifeLinks Related to this Episode:Krista Thomason (personal website)Kant's Moral Philosophy (Introduction) (More In-depth)Michel de MontaigneMore on Philosophy of the EmotionsExistentialismNecessary and Sufficient ConditionsSearch Engine Optimization (SEO)Transition ManagementMusic: Earth and the Moon, by KetsaLogo Art: Angela Silva, Dattura Studios
