March 17, 2014

Nation magazine senior editor, Sarah Leonard explains why the work cultures of Wall Street and Silicon Valley matter to all of us, new reforms in Wall Street work hours, the cult of “smartness”, how Silicon Valley disguises its work culture through the rhetoric of passion, how Wall Street and Silicon Valley work to avoid regulation and how we need to start thinking about the technology sector as a whole.

And the great St Patty’s Day gets boycott.

On The Fun Half: the roots of the crisis in Ukraine, anti reproductive rights extremists threaten activists online, Abby Huntsman’s absurd argument for slashing Social Security, what millennials need to actually worry about, the failure of the “White Pride” demonstrations, Rupert Murdoch tweets crazy things and your IMs.

And keep the conversation going on our morning thread
