PickVidsBest Labor, work & inequality Videos
「Labor, work & inequality」下面有92部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门6部，适合还没学过的人；进阶1部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向85部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的0部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是讲解，所以它们的共同点是用一个图像或类比把一个概念补上。常出现的频道包括LastWeekTonight、TED、LibertyPen。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Work and wealth: wages, unions, universal basic income, automation of jobs, inequality, billionaires, cost of living, housing affordability, gig economy, immigration and labor.如果只看三部，就从《What Happened to Horses Is Happening to Us》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《Winners Take All | Anand Giridharadas | Talks at Google》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class with Elizabeth Warren》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
