Do symphony orchestras really demonstrate that workplace subordination isn't degrading, Nozick? Also, let's talk about the Prisoners' Dilemma!

Here’s the recording for the twenty-second session of our Substack philosophy class for paid subscribers. We read the “Meaningful Work” and “Workers’ Control” sections of Ch. 8 of Robert Nozick’s Anarchy, State, and Utopia. Next time we’ll read the “Marxian Exploitation” section, so that should be a fun one. After that, we should be able to wrap up the book in three more sessions (one to finish out Ch. 8 and one each on Chs. 9 & 10) and then we can move on to reading G.A. Cohen’s response-book Self-Ownership, Freedom, and Equality. Oh, and here’s the Substack I mentioned at the end (“Walter Block and the Prisoner’s Dilemma”). Finally, remember that this and all the previous class recordings so far can be found here.
