Yes, Keynes thought increased productivity would allow workers more free time--namely, to pursue leisurely activities.

Depending on what you do, that might be exhausting, you may not have the energy to pursue leisure activities. I doubt this is going to change any time soon. What incentive does a company have to reduce working hours? Declare that a full week of work is 32 hours instead of 40?
