Summary

Bernie’s 32-hour work week proposal. Retired boomers golfing 7 days a week. Declining workforce participation. Rising disability claims. What do all these things have in common? David Bahnsen argues it’s all part of a broad cultural change in people’s attitudes towards the importance of work for their personal fulfillment. He joined Rep. Crenshaw to discuss what this means for the state of our economy, our happiness, and our purpose in life.
