Lecture 2:  Institutionalizing the Pro-Worker Work Ethic Today
 
Abstract: The Pro-worker work ethic came closest to realization in social democracy, a model of how to organize work and the broader economy that arose primarily in postwar Northern Europe.  Although social democracy has suffered setbacks in recent decades, I argue that it provides a valuable starting point for reconstructing the organization of work in the 21st century.  In particular, it offers resources for considering how workers' dignity and autonomy can be enhanced by democratizing work.
