Alex teases Patrick with a tantalizing glimpse into the future: what if we only had to work 15 hours a week? That’s what famed British economist John Maynard Keynes predicted back in 1930 in an overly-optimistic essay he wrote entitled “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren.” This week we talk Patrick’s dream jobs (he has 2!), how keeping up with the Joneses is keeping us in the office, and America’s exhausting infatuation with “hustle culture.”
Theme Song is Satellites by Swenny.
