Episode 24 - Hard Work Never Killed Anybody, Part VI: The Economic Factors In Work-Related Death, Grief, and Trauma..
In today's episode of Ergasia, we look at the economic factors operating within work-related trauma, injury, and death. Who bears the economic cost when workers are injured or killed at work? How does the adversarial legal system within which workers' compensation systems are enmeshed affect grieving families? What are the broader human longings that might be better served by the process of restorative justice? What are the ideological purposes which the idolatry of work serves with respect to the economic factors of work-related harm?
