*UNLOCKED* Summer of strikes / when the lights go out
Manage episode 338078315 series 2907557
FROM PATREON TO MAIN FEED: Are we heading for a 'summer of discontent'? Are we going 'back to the 1970s'? Three day week and a four-day bender? What really happened when the lights went out? Why do we cast particular eras as 'dark ages' or periods of decline, and who does it serve when we do so? Why were the 70s such an excellent time for white utility candles?
This week, Kasia and Dan try and unpick the myths and moral panics from the realities: that the 70s were a decade of decline, social breakdown and perpetual unrest -- rubbish in the streets, blackouts, shortages and strikes. Has that decade shaped everything to do with work and politics ever since?
