What is *Raw Deal: How the “Uber Economy” and Runaway Capitalism Are Screwing American Workers* about?

Steven Hill’s *Raw Deal* critiques the gig economy’s exploitation of workers, arguing companies like Uber and Airbnb evade labor laws by classifying employees as independent contractors. The book highlights dwindling job security, eroded benefits, and corporate practices that prioritize profits over worker welfare, while proposing policies like universal healthcare and portable benefits to counter these trends.

Who should read *Raw Deal* by Steven Hill?

This book is essential for policymakers, labor advocates, and anyone interested in economic inequality. Entrepreneurs in the gig economy, freelancers, and workers navigating precarious employment will gain insights into systemic issues and policy reforms needed to protect labor rights in a rapidly shifting job market.

Is *Raw Deal* by Steven Hill worth reading?

Yes, particularly for its eye-opening analysis of how corporations like Merck and Nissan exploit legal loopholes to deny benefits. Hill blends data with real-world stories, making complex labor issues accessible. However, some critics note its occasionally polemic tone.

What is the “1099 Economy” discussed in *Raw Deal*?

The 1099 Economy refers to freelancers and gig workers classified as independent contractors (via IRS Form 1099), denying them benefits like healthcare or paid leave. Hill argues this model shifts risk from corporations to workers, creating a “race to the bottom” in wages and job stability.

How does *Raw Deal* criticize companies like Uber?

Uber is highlighted as a prime example of “runaway capitalism,” sidestepping labor laws by labeling drivers as contractors. Hill reveals how this practice avoids payroll taxes, insurance costs, and overtime pay, forcing workers to bear expenses while companies profit.

What policy solutions does Steven Hill propose in *Raw Deal*?

Hill advocates for a “New Deal 2.0,” including portable benefits tied to workers (not employers), a universal safety net, and stricter regulations to prevent worker misclassification. He cites Germany and South Korea as models with stronger labor protections.

How does *Raw Deal* compare worker protections in the U.S. to other countries?

The U.S. lags behind nations like Japan and Brazil, which mandate benefits for gig workers. Hill contrasts America’s fragmented safety net with Europe’s universal healthcare and paid leave, urging reforms to prevent a “freelance society” devoid of worker rights.

What companies are exposed in *Raw Deal* for exploiting workers?

Merck, Nissan, and Airbnb are criticized for replacing full-time employees with contractors. For example, Merck sold a factory, rehiring workers as contractors without benefits—a tactic Hill calls “corporate arbitrage”.

When Your Home Becomes Your Office and Your Car Becomes Your Bedroom

00:00

What happens when an award-winning photographer starts sleeping in one room of his own house while strangers occupy the rest? Frederic Larson, once a Pulitzer finalist at the San Francisco Chronicle, found himself in exactly this predicament after losing his job in 2009. Between renting out his Marin County home on Airbnb and driving for Lyft four nights a week, he was monetizing every asset he owned just to stay afloat. This isn't a dystopian novel-it's the lived reality of America's new economy, where one-third of workers now freelance and nearly half will be "independent" within a decade. We're witnessing the systematic dismantling of middle-class employment, dressed up in the cheerful language of "disruption" and "sharing." But strip away the glossy marketing, and you'll find something far more troubling: a return to pre-New Deal working conditions, where economic security has become a luxury rather than a standard feature of employment.
