PODCAST SPECIAL THE FUTURE OF WORK We’re thinking about what work is, and whether noise about automation, migration and four day weeks - trade wars, skills gaps and the fourth industrial revolution - is hot air or genuinely changing our lives for ever. In this podcast special, Chris Thorpe-Tracey draws on a range of past interviews, conducted by Richard Freeman and Cat Rose, about the thinking that is driving the future structures of employment, skills, service and manufacturing.
