Listen "5. "Origami Hearts Inc.": A Classroom Simulation to Rethink Labor & Profit "

Episode Synopsis

Today's episode is exciting! I sit down with Nic Dinato, the creator of an original Rethinking Normal simulation called "Origami Hearts Inc.".
This engaging simulation is designed to provide participants with a solid understanding of the fundamental workings of waged labor and profit accumulation. It emphasizes that workers produce significantly more value than what they are fairly compensated for, yet they receive almost none of the surplus value.
During our conversation, my guest and I dissect the mechanics of running the simulation, diving into the learning theory embedded in each stage of the game.
