Video: Matthew Cole on the history of wage theft

In this interview, Matthew Cole sits down with Ashok Kumar to discuss why wage theft is not simply the consequence of greedy capitalists breaking the law, but the result of a structural incentive towards wage theft.

In Unpaid: The Past, Present and Future of Wage Theft, Matthew Cole blends personal stories with a fresh, accessible take, to trace the long history of wage theft. Cole shows that wage theft is not just about broken laws but about the nature of property itself. He makes a powerful case for our collective right to reassert our labour-power.
