Richard Sennett on how we will all be useless in the future, if we are not already.
The education system turns out large numbers of graduates who will not find work in the jobs for which they trained; more people will lose work to those in other countries who work for less; still others will find that as they age, their experience matters ever less. These are the spectres of uselessness today - images not of people confronting a broken economic machine, but of their own irrelevance in a system that works efficiently, and profitably.
Good to meet you today, you are safely tucked up in my RSS reader now!
