Yes I wrote about this in The Overworked American. No economic incentive to save women’s time when they weren’t earning money
My latest is about an economic mystery that explains one of the biggest Qs about modern work:
In 1900, the avg home had no modern tech.
By 1960, it had electricity, AC, plumbing, fridges.
And all this tech saved the typical housewife ... 0 hours. Why?

We have to build huge amounts of clean energy.

Path-breaking article by
@veenadubal
. Many have noted the gig labor force is disproportionately Black and Latinx, this is first analysis of how gig companies' policies reflect that reality, and how companies have put in a two-tier wage system to discriminate against these workers
Should regulation be racial-neutral? Not always, definitely not when race neutrality deepens discrimination.
Great article

One of the first times I presented my research on the rise of working hours a senior faculty member at MIT was totally dismissive and questioned why study anything other than income. Boy was he wrong. Stick with what you believe in.
Fantastic thread from a fellow junior sociologist sticking w an important political economy project, even when senior ppl dismissed it.
It reminds me of all the times I've been told by senior ppl that climate might be important, but it would never get me published/a job.

This is a crucial fight. The gig companies think after

they can buy any state. Let’s show them they’re wrong about Massachusetts.
You deserve to feel protected when you take an Uber or Lyft, and so does your driver.
Big Tech's ballot initiative would remove the companies' legal liability for any accidents while using their services.
We're not going to let that happen.

Very cool. Our research on four day work weeks suggests people sleep more. There’s a strong correlation between lower working hours and fewer carbon emissions.
I’m still stuck on this idea: investing in more sleep for climate justice. If everyone in the United States was encouraged to sleep an additional hour or two, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions could be huge. Like the size of smaller, more sustainable countries huge.

Story: Years ago I was deliverying something from Noam to Edward Said (who I lived next to
@Columbia
). While chatting, Said said he really liked Noam, but found him too Zionist. Never forgot that. My association w/Noam has been such a privilege.
a Zionist asks Chomsky what he thinks about the statement that Israel should not exist, and whether he is horrified by it and thinks it's anti-Semitic and genocidal.
He responds: "Actually, I agree with that." And adds that Zionists are the actual genocidal ones.

Looking forward to testifying against Uber's special treatment, anti-worker, anti-resident carve-out in MA. We won't let them do this in our Commonwealth.

“Our priority should be to stop worker misclassification.
Our priority should be to ensure every worker can collectively bargain.
And our priority should be to end wage theft once and for all.
As long as I am your AG, these are the issues my office will focus on every day.”

Amen. As someone who has studied the issue of personal consumption for years I know the most important thing about it is its relationship to activism.
Stop obsessing over your environmental “sins.” Fight the oil and gas industry instead.

For discussion of all these impacts see my forthcoming book After the Gig: How the sharing economy got hijacked and how to win it back University of California Press
Reminder that Uber and Lyft:
⬆️ congestion
⬆️ traffic fatalities
⬇️ transit ridership
⬆️ overall vehicle miles traveled
⬆️ emissions
⬇️ transit political support
and mostly replace biking, walking, transit trips

I have been advocating and researching shorter hours as a solution to climate change since 1990. Are you really with me on this? We could use some help.
Here is a list of some things that Doughnut economists could advocate if they seriously believed that the planet is in danger and that world GDP must not increase and yet abject global poverty must be reduced.

It's not obvious that the 4 day week will reduce carbon emissions, but it's highly likely. Here's why

Really pleased that CNN named us and the 4 day week one of its 2022 "risk takers"

Episode Two has dropped! This one’s about the political economy of climate change and what has been stopping effective action.
Economists have a history of producing studies showing that policy action is more expensive than allowing climate change to progress. We need to break through interest-based politics before it's too late.
