Health Communism book cover
Health Communism
A Surplus Manifesto
Beatrice Adler-Bolton, Artie Vierkant - 2022-10-18
Calificación de Goodreads
"Health Communism" is a powerful critique of how capitalism has instrumentalized health, disability, and illness to create a class seen as "surplus." Written by the hosts of the popular podcast "Death Panel," the book argues for a new global left politics aimed at severing the ties between capital and health. The authors examine how the health industry has emerged to manage and contain populations deemed unfit to work and marked for extraction. Ultimately, this book calls for a radical new politics of solidarity built on the understanding that we must not base the value of human life on one's ability to be productive within the current political economy.

How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation
Anne Helen Petersen - 2020-09-22
Calificación de Goodreads
Un análisis incendiario del agotamiento en los millennials, los cambios socioculturales que lo provocan, las presiones que lo sustentan y la necesidad urgente de un cambio drástico. ¿Tu vida es una lista interminable de tareas pendientes? ¿Te encuentras navegando sin pensar por Instagram porque estás demasiado cansado para leer un libro? Bienvenidos a la cultura del agotamiento. La escritora de cultura y exacadémica Anne Helen Petersen sostiene que el agotamiento es una característica definitoria de la generación millennial, que nace de la desconfianza en las instituciones que nos han fallado, las expectativas poco realistas del trabajo moderno y un fuerte repunte de ansiedad y desesperanza exacerbados por la presión constante de «desempeñar» nuestras vidas en las redes. Basado en un artículo viral de Petersen en BuzzFeed, que ha acumulado más de siete millones de lecturas desde su publicación, No puedo más examina cómo el agotamiento afecta a la forma en que trabajamos, criamos y socializamos.
