Lately, we’ve seen a proliferation of discussions about the end of work as we know it.  But what about the beginning of work as we would like it?

In this third year of the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are burned out, quitting their jobs in record numbers, and reconsidering the place of work in their lives. 

As The Atlantic article proclaims:

If the American theocracy of work is to be dismantled, it won’t happen by just changing jobs or attitudes. It will require a fundamental transformation in the social system that dictates which institutions we derive fulfillment from.

Whether you agree or disagree, work has its place in our life as a meaningful institution.
