Ben Burgis, Thangam Debbonaire and Nemone Metaxas discuss hierarchy in society. • Is social hierarchy natural, or should we seek to flatten it? • Watch the full debate at https://iai.tv/video/society-2-0?utm_... • The Covid pandemic opened our eyes to the jobs society can't live without. From lorry drivers to supermarket shelf-stackers, the roles often seen as lower status proved indispensable. Both the left and right, called for unprecedented wage rises in these newly valued and vital sectors. But changes in wage levels also implies a reassessment of the relative value we attach to the roles themselves. • Should we conclude that we have overvalued professional and middle class office and management roles? Do we need to abandon the assumption that a university education leads to a more highly paid and valued role, and eradicate current social hierarchies in order to level up? Or should we retain pay differentials and protect the status quo with the educated elite taking their rightful place at the top? • #socialhierarchy #keyworkers #divisionoflabour • 00:44 Ben Burgis • 04:30 Nemone Metaxas • 05:36 Thangam Debbonaire • Member of the Shadow Cabinet House Thangam Debbonaire, Radio 6 DJ and psychotherapist Nemone Metaxas and Marxist philosopher Ben Burgis explore the undervalued people in our society.
