Our Grief and Mourning can Interrupt the Flow of Capitalism/Sarah Jaffe

I think It's capitalism. I think we live in a world where human life is sort of fed into the meat-grinder in so many different ways that if we actually stop to mourn every untimely death, we never start up again. We'd never work again.

Sarah Jaffe, author of “Work Won't Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone and Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt” joins us to discuss her new book “From the Ashes: Grief and Revolution in a World on Fire”, published by Bold Type Books.
