Perhaps if there’s not enough time in the day to do all the work that’s required of us, we could instead work less and employ more people. The New Economics Foundation in Britain advocates a 21-hour working week, which sounds radical until you consider what a huge impact this could have on unemployment rates. When Norwegian trade unions polled their members and asked if they’d rather have a pay rise or an extra day off every week, they found that people would much rather have more free time.
