Come ridare senso al lavoro (e al progresso) | Riccardo Maggiolo | TEDxUdine

What new definition of work? Riccardo Maggiolo does so by starting from the complexity of the concept of progress in the modern era, posing provocative questions about the meaning of work and our collective attitude toward the future. Confronting current challenges, such as social isolation and the environmental crisis, Maggiolo suggests a revolutionary reconceptualization of work and progress, calling for an economic and social model that prioritizes relationships and care over mere production and consumption. He proposes the adoption of a universal basic income as a means of separating sustenance from productive work, thus encouraging community participation and engagement in activities that bring both social and personal value. This talk was presented at a TEDx event using the TED conference format, but was independently organized by a local community.
