Revolt and Recession: The Global Crisis of Higher Education and Work

[S6 E04] Revolt and Recession: The Global Crisis of Higher Education and Work

David Harvey reflects on recent protests in Bangladesh as a "canary in the coal mine" for growing global discontent over unequal job opportunities and socioeconomic divides. He explores parallels between the unrest in Bangladesh, Iran, and student movements of the 1960s, highlighting the role of higher education and the precarious job market in fueling frustration. Harvey also delves into the potential impact of automation, artificial intelligence, and the rise of adjunct teaching, warning of a future where economic instability could provoke widespread discontent among educated but underemployed populations.
