The solution to just about everything: Working less (2016)
- kristianp 7y agoThe facts that are presented in this article are very interesting, but I find that there is a gap between the facts presented and the conclusions drawn in this and other "we should work less" articles. Maybe around 40 hours a week is an optimum for humans who want to have a balanced life and time to consume products to keep the economy going? There are also other factors, such as people concentrating ever more in cities, driving up the cost of housing, making living in many cities only marginally affordable for most low-paid workers. There's so many variables to consider, but I'd like to read a real economists view on these things.
