Warum wir selbst über unseren Namen und unser Geschlecht entscheiden können sollten. Vor fünf Jahren hatte Linus Giese sein Coming out als trans Mann. Weil er sich traute, öffentlich darüber zu sprechen, erntete er Hass – und überwältigenden Zuspruch, insbesondere von jungen Menschen.

Trans Menschen erleben Diskriminierung im Alltag und auch strukturell, auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, im Gesundheitswesen, durch das Transsexuellengesetz, das als verfassungswidrig eingestuft wurde.

'Work hard, get paid.' It's simple. Self-evident. But it's also a lie—at least for most of us. For people today, the old assumptions are crumbling; hard work in school no longer guarantees a secure, well-paying job in the future.

In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by award-winning actor Libby Mai, Amelia Horgan poses three big questions: what is work? How does it harm us? And what can we do about it?

A economia da desigualdade demonstra que o antagonismo esquerda/direita do debate político não discorda necessariamente em suas noções de justiça social, mas sim nos mecanismos econômicos que produzem a desigualdade e em como minorá-la.
