> What we get in exchange, is one or 2 extra days of consumer spending. People tend to spend more during weekends anyways, so everybody is a winner. We keep the same salary, we have an extra day free in the week, companies get the 15% increase in consumption, and get slowly ready for full work automation. It dost not work this way :-) Most people spend all they have, and it just happens when they have time to spend it. Since you don't raise the salary, there is nothing more to spend. The same amount of spendings will be spread along 3 days instead of 2. Increase in spending can only concern people who do not spend everything. Even in this limited set, those people are not going to eat more, they are not going to buy more sofas or whatever, they are not going to buy a bigger house because they have an extra free day, they are not going to consume 15% more, not even close.
