“Freedom thus depends on collective action rather than individual will, and this is what makes it political. Though freedom is, by account, a relational practice, it is not a zero-sum game in which the more one has, the less another can enjoy.

Rather, as a world-building practice, freedom is a social--and hence necessarily political--endeavor.”

“With each reconstitution of the work ethic, more is expected of work: from an epistemological reward in the deliverance of certainty, to a socioeconomic reward in the possibility of social mobility, to an ontological reward in the promise of meaning and self-actualiziation.”
