You can download the episode directly here.
This week, Craig talks to Ben Wray from the Gig Economy Project, a pan-European project to map and track insecure labour, about a recent article he wrote about Karl Marx and his views towards the gig economy - known in his time as "piece wages". They discuss the rise and resurgence of this form of insecure labour, how it undermines salaried work and how it negatively impacts and disempowers workers. They also discuss the UK's inflation crisis and how Spain has managed to avoid it and, finally, a brief discussion on Scotland's latest GERS statistics.
