On the 20-hour work week: All in favor?
On Talking Story today:
There’s an interesting idea which keeps popping up on my radar these early days of our new year, and I love it. It’s an inventive call to action:
Let’s shift what we value in society today, by shifting to the 20-hour work week.
The argument behind this proposal, is that our 40-hour work week has been our convention, but convention isn’t unquestionable fact. Convention isn’t necessarily right, and it may not be that good for us anymore — Was it ever?
