Why must we work?

Dreaming of labour or dreaming of a break? The one and only Ariel Bissett joins me for today's episode of Agony Leena / No More Miserymas, to answer the question that has plagued citizens and economists alike for centuries: 'why must we work?'

Yes, having a job can be a bore and a stress but is it also the key to happiness and a healthy society? Or are we being exploited by the powers that be? Also, what can employers and the government be doing to improve work for employees and make work better for everybody? How about universal basic income for a start. If you've ever pondered the answers to any of these questions then do we have the video for YOU. All this and more will be answered right here, featuring both Canadian and British solutions. Let's go!
