Award-winning sociologist Jamie K. McCallum joins us to discuss his astounding new book Worked Over: How Round-the-Clock Work is Killing the American Dream, which reveals the unexpected link between overwork and inequality. 

McCallum is an author, teacher, and activist, focusing on labor and work issues around the world. He is currently associate professor of sociology at Middlebury College. His work has won scholarly awards and appeared in The Washington Post, Mother Jones, Jacobin, Dissent, In These Times, and other magazines. Worked Over: How Round-the-Clock Work is Killing the American Dream, focuses on labor time and work culture in the United States, and will be published by Basic Books late 2020.  Follow him on Twitter @jamiekmccallum for infrequent retweets of socialist cat memes.
