SUMMARY:Debt & the Future of Workers
DESCRIPTION:\n\nhttps://youtu.be/76IUjL4bspE?si=_GEYnqCD7C9CA0Z3\n\n\n\n\nT
 his talk will present a general framework for the financialization-worker 
 militancy nexus and empirical evidence on how private debt and financial m
 arkets have eroded labor power over the last decades. The discussion will 
 analyze how the rising financial obligations of non-financial firms and wo
 rkers have induced the intensification of attacks on unions and the right 
 to strike\, which is the driving force behind the deterioration of labor r
 ights.&nbsp\; In this context\, the talk will challenge the relevance of c
 onceptual frameworks that focus on the ‘Future of Work’\, and argue th
 at scholars\, activists\, and practitioners must center on the ‘Future o
 f Workers’ instead.&nbsp\; Particular emphasis will be put on the discip
 linary effects of personal indebtedness that reflects broader systemic fai
 lures related to welfare state retrenchment (including the decline of free
  education\, universal healthcare\, and public transport\, among others).\
