Until we have control over land prices via land value tax we will always work a full week.
Land prices are set by credit which will expand to fill all labour less food / heating costs.
Only when land is cheaper can we opt out of working 40 hours and this will see a general reduction in the average working week. Until then we are all banker bitches.
- c1sc0 11y agoWho is this "we"? Just curious & trying to understand your thinking. Can you elaborate?
- cubano 11y agoThere are plenty of places, all over the world, where land is quite cheap, so I don't quite follow your thinking here.
- m52go 11y agoI believe the argument is directed toward salaried workers, so reducing hours would not reduce pay, so land/rent costs are irrelevant.
