Today Leonard talks to Elizabeth Anderson 
In her book “Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives (And Why We Don’t Talk About It),” Elizabeth Anderson explores the deplorable working conditions that persist right here in the US. “In ‘Private Government,’ Anderson explores a striking American contradiction,” wrote the New Yorker’s Joshua Rothman. “On the one hand, we are a freedom-obsessed society, wary of government intrusion into our private lives; on the other, we allow ourselves to be tyrannized by our bosses, who enjoy broad powers of micromanagement and coercion.”Join Leonard and Elizabeth for a conversation about the state of the American workplace.
