About this listen

Two diasporic girls unpack their complicated relationships with wealth through reflections on their lived experiences in Fuzhounese-American ethnic enclaves. How does the “American Dream” shape taboos around inheritance and conversations about money? How do these silences surface in elite environments, cultural crossroads, and within the financial capital of New York City? In this episode, Wena and I explore alternative relationships to work and life among Chinese, Americans, and those who exist somewhere in between. We do so by asking a pressing question of our moment: what does it mean to “labor” in an era increasingly shaped by AI and job augmentation?
