The Public Interest Network is hiring a Research Assistant who will work closely with leadership staff to develop our in-house “think tank,” which is dedicated to re-orienting America’s political and cultural conversation. According to a 2020 study in Nature , the combined mass of man-made things now outweighs all life on Earth. We already produce more food than we can eat and more clothes than we can wear.  And our continued pursuit of limitless economic growth and job creation has profound consequences, amongst them: the pollution of our environment, the use of toxic chemicals in products – even toys – on store shelves, and a fanatical commitment to keeping people in jobs even if those jobs are dangerous or soul-crushing or unnecessary. It’s time to change our thinking and ask big questions, like:  Why do we still treat economic growth as synonymous with progress, even as its costs overwhelm its benefits? What if the real challenge of automation is not job loss, but our inability to imagine a good life beyond traditional employment?
