You can tell this is a world of ultra neo-liberalism when even the most heart-centred of topics are reduced to productivity and economics metrics.

Work is making mindless serfs numb Emotion-article-420x0

Take, for example, mental illness, which we’re told results in lost productivity of $10.9 billion in Australia. Or menopause, the hot flashes of which are dragging women away from work, costing the American economy millions of dollars. Or even diabetes, a chronic condition that, apparently, is delaying Europe’s recovery from the financial crisis.

The problem, I think, with such pervasive numerical fixations is that we become desensitised to what should be the real issue. In those cases, human struggles.
