À propos de cet audio

 Join economist and charismatic host Nick Ledger as he unpacks the fascinating transformation of modern work in this deep dive into the gig economy's origins. From medieval mercenary knights to Uber drivers, Nick explores how freelance work evolved from the margins to the mainstream, fueled by the perfect storm of the 2008 financial crisis and smartphone technology. Discover the untold story behind platforms like Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, and DoorDash, and learn how the language of "side gigs" and "flexibility" masks complex economic realities. With his signature blend of sharp economic analysis and accessible humor, Nick reveals why millions of Americans traded traditional employment for the promise of working on their own terms—and what that really means for workers, consumers, and the broader economy.
