Workers’ Lives Now (Late-Stage Capitalism)
Workers are seen as a production cost.
Many face job insecurity, long hours, and low wages, often doing work that feels disconnected from meaning or community.
Work is usually competitive, hierarchical, and driven by profit, leading to stress, burnout, and alienation.
Access to healthcare, housing, and education is often tied to employment, making life unstable.
Workers have little control over decisions affecting their work or well-being.
Environmental harm and resource depletion are common side effects of production.
