The Roundup #9

The war on young people; a fight for fair pay; and delinking the rich world from the poor world.

Welcome to another episode of my Substack podcast, The Roundup, where you can listen to all my Substack content for the week in one place, read by me!

This week, I’ll be reading the following articles for you:

Work doesn’t pay, housing is out of reach, and life has been enshittified — why should young people keep propping up a system rigged against them?

“You Should Be Honoured to Work Here”: British Library Staff are Striking for Pay, Conditions, and Respect

A battle over pay has become a fight over who Britain’s cultural institutions are really for.

What I read this week: Delinking

What might the global economy look like were the poor world to ‘delink’ from the rich world?

Thanks for listening! It’s wonderful to have so many of you part of this little community - please do get in touch with any comments/questions. See below the paywall for the full podcast, which paid subscribers can also download.
