Griffith Review: On the Money & Out of Office
Cameron Hurst, Fiona Wright, Jessy Wu.
Chair: Carody Culver
9:30–10:30am, Saturday 10 October, Fairfax Studio
How we spend our working hours can have a profound influence on our selfworth, our social circles and our sense of identity (not to mention our bank balance). In the midst of rising inequality and a labour market that’s being rapidly reshaped by AI, how should we be thinking about the past and future of work and money? Join three standout thinkers and writers as they discuss their recent contributions to the money- and work-themed editions of Griffith Review.
