LGM Podcast: Injury Impoverished
By 
For the latest LGM podcast, I interview Nate Holdren of Drake University about his recent book Injury Impoverished: Workplace Accidents, Capitalism, and Law in the Progressive Era. This is a great book to get at issues of workplace safety and the ideological doctrine that protect employers in the past and present. A book like this has a lot to say to the present. We still lose thousands of workers a year to workplace accidents, but this never makes the news and it doesn’t change our consciousness. Instead, the entire way we discuss the economy is made to create a series of abstractions around numbers and not about the stories of real people. Holdren works to fix this and we discuss all this in the podcast. Check it out!
The LGM podcast is now available from a variety of corporate overlords, so please perform freedom by making your consumer choice. We would very much appreciate reviews, whether of the thoughtful written variety or just by clicking on the appropriate star.
And of course the podcast is the most expensive and time-consuming element of the LGM project, so any support is appreciated.
