You are right.
But nowadays we should have taken another step (4x7?). Millenials are the first generation living worst than their parents, inequality increases and wealth and work are not well balanced.
Why? Because capitalism has won and socialism is not watched as an alternative.
- alkonaut 7y agoWe are slowly getting there. We went from no paid holidays to one two three weeks and so on. Many countries have less than 40 work weeks in some sectors already. It won’t be quick to hit 35h workweeks but it wasn’t exactly quick to get to 40 either. (Note: this reasoning of past progress doesn’t apply to the US)
- tim333 7y agoWe've had excess transfer of wealth to the rich before, around the 1920s. It was dealt with in capitalist countries by raising taxes and increasing spend on things like health and education. The countries that did that fared better than those going for full socialism.
