HU Why Do We Work More than Keynes Expected by Richard Freeman Discussion

Description

Do you want a 5 day weekend?

Economist John Maynard Keynes wrote an essay in 1930. The title is Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren. In this essay, he wrote that our increases in technology would lead us to a different lifestyle. This lifestyle would allow us to only work for 15 hours each week, by the year 2030. We could relax the other days and essentially have a 5 day weekend.
