Description

On the cult of the entrepreneur. Alex Gourevitch talks to us about the "special kinds of assholes we get in our economy" and the dangers of the heroic capitalist icon. How does the earlier ideal of meritocracy differ from entrepreneurship as an ethos? Does celebrating the special creative genius of the disruptor actually mean glorifying tyranny? 
Plus: the right to strike, domination in the workplace, and campy Trump.
Readings:
A Radical Defence of the Right to Strike, Alex Gourevitch
From Slavery to the Cooperative Commonwealth, Alex Gourevitch
Nietzsche's Marginal Children, Corey Robin
