Essential workers are experiencing a speed-up as demand for their services increases, while millions stay home— as their own sense of time, and the separation between "life" and "work," blurs. How is it that we came to be ruled by clocks, and how did people experience time prior to industrial capitalism? Team Advantage explores the phenomenon of capitalist time-discipline, consulting E. P. Thompson, Moishe Postone, and Mark Fisher (among others) as resources.
