In this episode, we return to the Holy Father's new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, for a final to examine the Pope's words about work. We talk about the negative effects of automation in the workplace and discuss how work influences the other pillars of society according to Dawson. Join us around the fire, wherever you may be.
