and Hello and welcome to another episode of Politics Theory Other, a podcast from Tribune magazine.

My name is Alex Doherty and my guest today is Andy Beckett.

We talked about the recent Conservative and Labour Party conferences

and whether the supply chain and fuel crises might finally undermine support for Boris Johnson's government.

We also chatted about the Labour Party and why Keir Stama seems to have made so little effort

to make political capital out of the government's current difficulties.

Today's show is brought to you by PTO supporters on Patreon and also by Verso Books, who have lots

of excellent titles that may be of interest to PTO listeners.

One that you might like to check out is Work Without the Worker, Labor in the Age of Platform

Capitalism by Phil Jones. We are told that the age of platform capitalism by Phil Jones.

We are told that the future of work will be increasingly automated.

Algorithms processing massive amounts of information at startling speed

will lead us to a new world of effortless labour and a post-work utopia of ever-expanding leisure.

But behind the gleaming surface stands millions of workers,

often in the global south, manually processing data for a pittance.

Work without the worker, labour in the age of platform capitalism by Phil Jones, reveals the

brutal truth behind our automated futures and the new world of work.

It's out now from Verso Books and one of their October Verso Book Club reading selections.
