David Matthews on capitalism, disability and how to reshape the welfare state
In this episode, we’ll be talking about how capitalism shapes our conception of disability, its impact on our mental health, and how we can rethink the welfare state. My guest is David Matthews, a lecturer in sociology and social policy at Coleg Llandrillo, Wales, and the leader of its degree program in health and social care. We’ll discuss how capitalism co-opts progressive politics, the monotony of work, and why it’s okay to enjoy watching wrestling.
