Make Your Own Job: Erik Baker and The Drift on Work in America

  • P&T Knitwear 180 Orchard St New York, NY 10002 United States (map)

P&T Knitwear, in partnership with The Drift, is pleased to welcome Erik Baker to celebrate the publication of Make Your Own Job: a sweeping history of the entrepreneurial work ethic in America, from its origins in late nineteenth-century success literature to the gig economy of today — and how it helped legitimize a society of mounting economic insecurity and inequality.

Erik will be joined in conversation by Rebecca Panovka, a founding editor of The Drift. Along with a discussion and audience Q&A, Erik will be signing copies of Make Your Own Job. Copies of The Drift will also be available for purchase.

This is a ticketed in-store event with limited amphitheater-style seating.
