AxtremusEulogy Virtue and Workaholism
https://www.theatlantic.com/ne...ours-workism/672895/There are two parts to this essay.
The first talks about a slight reversal in trend: rich Americans (in the top income decile) have been working more and more hours (compared to the general population), then that trend started to reverse a bit. The researchers think this is by choice rather than because of any pandemic related externalities.
The second part talks about "résumé virtue" vs. "eulogy virtue," how the American society values each. Interesting observation and discussion on what American parents wish for and teach their children in this context.
