  • Not so long ago (say in the 1950s or 1960s) only men worked full-time. Then women entered the workplace, doubling the workforce. You'd expect everyone to then work half a day only. This did not happen. The promise of new technology was again that we would work fewer hours. It didn't happen. Why?

  • @archdeaconj Google and read In Praise of Idleness by Bertrand Russell. He describes exactly why it didn't happen.
