Lifestyle Drugs, Left and the Law on Chelsea Manning, D. Graeber on jobs, labor-themed Well-read Red

Joe Clement hosts this Labor Day Old Mole and we hear:

  • Bill Resnick talks with Kristin Swenson about "the neoliberal family" rise of so-called "lifestyle drugs", like Ritalin and anti-depressants, and the origins of many of the ailments they seek to cover-up in capitalist social relations and the economy.
  • Jan Haaken and Mike Snedecker continue the Left and the Law, discussing Bradley Chelsea Manning's conviction.
  • Joe reads from an article by David Graeber, an economic anthropologist and anarchist, about the value of work when we feel our job shouldn't even really exist.
  • Frann Michel brings us a labor-themed Well-read Red.
