Fifteen of his documentaries have been broadcast nationally in prime time on PBS, including the popular special Affluenza. He is the co-author of Affluenza and What’s the Economy For, Anyway? and is the executive director of Take Back Your Time, which has been advocating for paid vacation legislation in Washington State and Washington, DC.
